      Pros

      Health ins. included, unionized, other subsidies. UCR is a fairly progressive campus with a diverse student body. As a result, there are quite a few resources and support networks

      Cons

      Long hours, low pay. You may or may not TA most of your graduate career depending on funding and your mentor. Nothing atypical of most graduate programs.
