Pros

Commercial side of the business is very different than the medical side.

Cons

poor support for conflict management tenure takes precedent. Upper management are lacking in core people management skills. digressive conflicts are allowed to exist with no intervention. being a gross workaholic with obviuos health issues makes you a superstar!! People turn a blind eye to what they know is unethical and wrong.
