Pros

Great job to have as a graduate student. Healthy salary to help offset the costs of school. Excellent supporting professors to help with direction.

Cons

Parking in the boonies. Need to arrive to campus early to grab a parking spot close to campus if you don't have on-campus parking.

Pros

- you get to say you work for a university - they are inclusive i guess

Cons

Make no mistake: they do not care about you. You can give them 10 years of your life and they can dissolve your 'contract' on a whim. You will be working outside your contract ~1 month/year if you want to actually do your job. The benefits package is worthless, there aren't even any doctors in network within a 50 mile radius except some holistic practice and one guy with awful reviews. Most people you work with will be incompetent (many of the teaching faculty), and if you are good at your job you will wind up doing theirs too.
