Pros

Currently MSU has one of the best benefits in the state where your retirement plan is matched two to one.

Cons

Although MSU is really good about keeping their employees, the retention rate for those that abuse the union is higher than what many would like. Also, the salary is negotiated by the same union which at this point falls 2-3% behind the rate of inflation every year.

Pros

The HPC facilities (HPCC, ICER) offer excellent access for research affiliates colpaborating with university researchers, with Slurm job scheduling and a well-managed site-specific wiki.

Cons

Annual account renewal can be a bit bureacratically clunky at times, and the Research Affiliate may have to coordinate with multiple departments and the associated PI if a system update breaks part of a legacy system.
