Pros

Good benefits and decent salary. Very interesting research opportunities in a wide range of fields. Exposure to more than just science: including business apects. Sense of community in a large university setting.

Cons

Quality of lab and work hours depend on adviser. Could be 9-5, or end up working long hours. Some departments have much more funding than others.

Pros

co-workers are super nice, friendly and collaborative. Good flexibility in work arrangements. My immediate boss is nice.

Cons

Morale is quite low, and turnover is high. We are losing good people and goals are not being met. Senior Leader tell us to do more with less, and do not want constructive feedback. They don't lead by example, taking elaborate trips instead of being present and supporting staff. Rules don't apply to them. So disappointing, not what you would expect from a public university.
