Pros

Friendly work environment, working mostly with people of the same age, pay is better than average for not having a degree.

Cons

It often feels like you are taking another class and you can't set most of your schedule to benefit you. Sometimes I had wished that I had worked in a less mentally demanding job where I could have just gone on autopilot and then get back to homework.

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.
