Pros

Pretty campus. Nice area of the state.

Cons

Demanding faculty. Employer that does not care AT ALL about its employees. Very bureaucratic, inconsistent in its practices. MSU is trying VERY hard to gut all its benefits, and it doesn't pay high enough to balance that out. Also have to pay for parking on campus, which is stiff. I would not recommend working for this employer. If I wasn't boxed in by circumstances, I'd bail in a heartbeat. And people are bailing out, which makes more work for the rest of us.

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.
