Pros

Government benefits are good including insurance, retirement, holidays, and leave. The pay for my field beats the pay on the outside of the government. A lot of cutting edge healthcare information is available.

Cons

Opportunity for career growth not so great. Too much red tape. Cafeteria is expensive and there are no employee discounts.

Pros

Working with the some of the smartest scientists and clinicians in the world. So many learning opportunities. Kind patients. Allowed time to care for patients as there is no pressure of quotas by health insurance.

Cons

Nursing management can be verbally abusive with frequent retaliation and intimidation. As most older nurses have worked there for most of their career, they are dismissive of new perspectives and resistant to evidence-based practice.
