Pros

Depends on who your PI is, but working in an academic environment is laid back and flexible schedule. Still have to put in your work to get something out of it. Salary is decent for the area. Lots of student support for improving skills for positions in academia. A lot of good communication between peers, mentors, and administrators.

Cons

Not a lot of support for positions in industry, but there are some. Management and HR is always changing or coming up with something new. Not much culture or stuff to do in the area.
