Pros

Great benefits, a very talented team of peers, competitive pay. That’s it, I can’t even make the 20 word minimum.

Cons

Chronically understaffed, even at full staffing (which is rare). Leadership micromanages while not comprehending the roles their technicians are in. They watch you on video monitors constantly. They are condescending and aggressively critical. One supervisor openly admitted to enjoying bullying and making people uncomfortable. Frequently unprofessional and inappropriate (e.g., verbally asking staff - in front of each other- to rate an employee on a scale of 1 to 10; pulling aside an LGBT staff member to say Mayo is forward thinking; joking about getting a paper bag when an employee was having a personal life crisis; trash talking other employees). There is no support beyond what the pharmacists and technicians can give each other.

Pros

Great senior physicians, great senior researchers, good food, great exercise facilities.

Cons

Ignorance, back stabbing, no best practices, low pay. These are people who vote for Trump, against their employer's best interests, and against the patients. Ramped affairs.

Pros

$ (they do pay you for your soul). Don't fall for that - there's a lot more ways to make money. Free coffee for doctors Mediocre art in the patient care areas - though usually the frame job is more valuable than the object, but that's a classic Mayo feature: shiny on the outside, something warmer and stinkier on the inside.

Cons

Conformity is the #1 cultural value. Bureaucratic subordination is #2. Kissing the chair's hindquarters is #3. Not complaining that any of this doesn't smell like roses is #4. Going to long boring meetings in which nothing in particular is decided is #5. Findings ways to squelch innovation is #6. Being the most boring person you can possibly be is #7. Making sure you don't inadvertently make a celebrity unhappy - or someone that someone in the bureaucracy thinks is important to the institution's image - is #8. There are more, but you get the point What's worse, they say it's all about needs of the patient comes first, but really its all social control of you. It's absolutely amazing how problems in some administrators head turn into grave patient safety issues while real patient safety issues are ignored. You need to give up every shred of self dignity to work in this communist styled dumpster. If you value your soul, if you value your sanity, if you value your own personal safety (no they don't give a darn about any of those things), this is not the place for you.
