      I have been working at Northwestern Medicine full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      I love working for Northwestern Medicine! The culture is inviting and positive and they like to promote from within. If you are ready for a change, there are always opportunities to change positions and try something new. Compensation is mediocre, but is made up for in benefits.

      Cons

      The interviewing and overall hiring process takes a while and can be frustrating for new hires. Also the pay scales could be adjusted, there are several positions that are grossly underpaid. There have also been many times where the department I work for has been severely under staffed.

      Pros

      working in a research hospital gives opportunities you don't get at non academic institutions

      Cons

      Working in a lab is not an area a patient sees, so the labs are not priority when equipment needs fixing or general maintenance in the space
