Pros

The students have a lot of enthusiasm.

Cons

Minimal resources, low pay relative to peer institutions, administration are a bunch of dictators, academic freedom is nil, workload is huge -- this goes back to the resources. Because the resources are so scarce, everything takes longer than it should. Worst mistake I ever made was coming here.

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.
