Pros

Many resources for personal development. Hundreds of labs to collaborate with or learn from. Good benefits for research fellows. Good location.

Cons

It's a big place so easy to get lost if you're not pro-active about what you need. Large variety among labs - some are great environments and some terrible - can be hard to predict.

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.
