Pros
Hands down my favorite job I've ever had. The patient population, the mission, and the type of care provided felt incredibly meaningful. It's a unique setting that allows you to work with some amazing patients. If you're drawn to underserved communities and community-based work, this is one of the most rewarding roles out there. The work is interesting (in my opinion), and there's impact in what you do.
This job is amazing if your heart is in this kind of work. If you're passionate about public health, equity, and patient advocacy, you'll probably love it. If you're looking for high pay and streamlined workflows, probably not for you.
Cons
As with most government jobs, the pay is on the lower end. Processes and system changes can be slow.
