Pros

Always meeting new people with different backgrounds, rewarding to be able to contribute to the functions of the university.

Cons

You'll learn to stop asking questions because nothing the university does makes sense. So much politics, you'll say to yourself, "who gave them a job" and you'll learn later it was because they knew someone in HR.

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.
