Pros

Chance of working with some great minds. A few in leadership positions are very good. Good benefits. Mailman School has some really bright individuals and strong leaders.

Cons

Very oppressive work culture. Surgeons are the worst. They are really not the brightest crowd, but have god complexes. Clinical research is sub standard and surgeons publish with zero quality standards. Very low pay. Tyranical leadership and some just dont care.

Pros

The work when I had it was amazing, I really appreciated it for what it gave me.

Cons

Unfortunately, with the change in management came zero transparency and rules for thee, not for me. It's led to really weird decisions.
