Pros
Since CRMC is a level 1 trauma center you will gain a great deal of experience. Most of the nursing staff is great to work with. There is a large number of patients that come through the hospital with multiple types of injuries and/or sicknesses making this a great place to learn.
Cons
As a PA here, especially in Neurosurgery, you will end up working 100+ hours per week. Most PA's do not stay longer than 6-9 months making the turn over very high and there is always a constant shortage of midlevels. The pay rate is not as high as other private offices and raises are rarely, if ever, given. Promises are made but they are never kept by the MD's and HR making this a difficult place to have and maintain high morale.
