Pros

Benefits!!!!! They have great health, dental and vision insurance. They also give matching contributions to your retirement fund. As an employee, you can also get some great discounts on local events such as Columbus Crew games (MLS). Smoking is also prohibited on university ground.

Cons

The parking is $74/mo. The administration is ridiculously inefficient. You need to physically walk up to the administration rep to check the current status ofor anything requiring administration. they constantly lose or misplace paperwork. Faculty have the tendency to look down on you, seeing you as a grunt.

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.
