Pros

Interesting patients and cases Great colleagues Collegial atmosphere

Cons

The pay is actually pretty bad compared to other institutions/hospitals - your taking about a 20% paycut from say Kaiser and similar institutions. You get paid 50% of your salary on a monthly basis the other 50% is paid out quarterly, which is extremely annoying. Also, when you go on maternity leave, your pay is based on the 50% that is paid monthly (so it doesn't include the 50% that is paid quarterly) - pretty messed up for a progressive institution. Also, there are no annual increases in pay, so a person with 1 year of experience gets paid the same as someone with 5 years of experience. Expectations on handling inbox are tough particularly with weak inbox support compared to other institutions

The staff I encountered were very nice, there was always axillary staff to help out. I never felt stranded on a shift. Overall I think it is a great place to work

Cons

Management are not that understanding sometimes and it creates more stress on the staff.
