Pros
Very nice environment, dealing with like-minded people. Try to find a research topic that is of interest to you.
Cons
GRA positions are not always guaranteed and you might have to depend on other sources (e.g., wage position) temporarily. However, this is planned to changed soon with 5-year guaranteed funding for anyone entering for a PhD program.
