Business outlook

Pros

Location, location, location. Based within a major hospital's cancer treatment centre. Victoria is a beautiful city in which to live. The lab is well equipped.

Cons

Management style is erratic and often counter to employee morale. Insular: very little outside collaboration is pursued or encouraged.
