Business outlook
Pros
Respect from outsiders at working for a major university. The benefits are very good, and hours are flexible. I'm able to work at home two days a week, which is nice since I live in New Hampshire. At times it can be a stimulating work environment since many bright, motivated people work here.
Cons
Small fish in a big pond. Without a PhD, you're not respected outside your own department. Management has no interest in developing career paths for employees. There's no sense of being part of a larger community and I have no feeling of being connected to Harvard Medical School. Hard work and extra effort are not rewarded -- there's no external motivation to exceed expectations.
