Pros

Helpful staff, Lots of support staff (nurse tech, residents, liaisons CSP, equipment techs) Lots of resources for education Friendly surgeons

Cons

Beware of mafia (Filipino & Italian -transplant) if you get on their bad side everyone turns on you Management is new so not very much respect in operating room on leadership Morning shift is extremely cliquish. Only your assigned team really communicates with you Managers micromanaging new staff and treat you like new grad no matter your experience
