Pros

Hands on work experience. Interesting tasks and projects. Position related to field of discipline. Allows you to grow in your expertise. Large university provides advancement through other departments.

Cons

Poor benefits and pay for temporary/contract employees. Undervalued equity in department with too much dependence on my position. Poor balance of work and personal life. Bias management based on age, race/ethnicity, and position.

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.
