Pros

No monetary restrictions, for the most part. You can be guided completely by where the science is telling you to go--and meet some of the smartest scientists in the world. If you want to do a technique, someone on campus is probably doing it and raring to teach you.

Cons

Governmental spending snafus, including the sequester. Also, the lab culture and quality of life varies wildly depending upon which senior investigator you end up working under.

Pros

Working with the some of the smartest scientists and clinicians in the world. So many learning opportunities. Kind patients. Allowed time to care for patients as there is no pressure of quotas by health insurance.

Cons

Nursing management can be verbally abusive with frequent retaliation and intimidation. As most older nurses have worked there for most of their career, they are dismissive of new perspectives and resistant to evidence-based practice.
