Pros

They (IR) have some weird workflow quirks for techs, but staff is awesome and docs were fine to work with. Cath Lab is a mess but IR is awesome.

Cons

Facility is cheap and will drop pay on extensions. Apparently that has been an ongoing issue so don’t expect to extend unless you’re willing to take a pay cut. Parking isn’t free either, unless you’re on call.
