Pros
The pay is good for a postdoc, and with a large faculty there is plenty of opportunity for collaboration. It gave me a chance to continue and finish up some projects that I began in graduate school. This aspect I found to be very useful, as it allowed me t o ramp up to productivity quite quickly while also starting some new projects that would take awhile before coming to fruition.
Cons
Just like any postdoc, it's a temporary position, so you should begin with an end in mind. You're a bit isolated geographically, so inter-university collaboration may be minimal. It snows a lot too, so be prepared for it.
