Pros

Busy but not too busy...... unless the ED kracken doc is released, then it's CTAs for everybody. Friendly staff. Lots of travelers.

Cons

Dirty facility, you will have to roll up your sleeves. Punitive environment and favoritism towards some techs. Lenghty processes for outpatient ordering and paperwork.
