Pros

Great benefits. 8:30-5 work day- everyone leaves right at 5. Ample opportunity to buy football tickets. Free education benefits for you, 50% off for your family. Job security- you have to really try to get fired.

Cons

General apathy abounds- it's a government job. Anyone who is in the pension plan constantly talks how how long they until they can retire. Promotions are based on time in the job, not performance.

Pros

Many resources available for various types of studies

Cons

Unless your PI is tapped into the research community, the resources are spread out and difficult to find. The overall support from the University to PIs is limited. Those individuals in positions of authority are more concerned with their own optics than with supporting those who need it.
