Pros
Flexible working arrangements - Yes, there are times when we work longer hours because what we do makes a difference for the bottom line (like when a patient is on the table). If my extra hours and effort means it changes a life, then I'm all for it. We're all in this business for a reason and those who are passionate about it won't find it a burden. I come in and leave work when it suits me. If I have something to do in the morning, my manager doesn't watch my time clock.
Culture - It's cliche but we love what we do. You can feel the buzz when you walk in because every single person in their role is making a difference.
Progression and development - If you've done well in your role and want to apply your strengths and talents elsewhere, that is not only supported but also highly encouraged.
Cons
Senior members have been in the business for a 10+ years and have a harder time adopting new cultures, processes, etc.

Cons
Sports Medicine has unfortunately changed from a dynamic and collaborative group to one being led by toxic leadership. Rather than working together and trusting team members, they now have an in group and out group. If you’re in the in group, you can say anything you want without being questioned and be automatically trusted even when your track record says otherwise. If you’re in the out group and your message doesn’t align with what the leadership wants to hear, then you are automatically wrong and not to be trusted.
