Pros

Beautiful campus, high energy, great town.

Cons

Depends on what college/office you work in. Some areas are much more flexible and allow employees to take advantage of benefits like flexible work hours, telework, etc. Other colleges/offices refuse to allow their employees to take advantage of university policies. No opportunities for travel to conferences, membership in professional organizations, etc., for staff in my office. Salary increases don't keep up with increases in health insurance, so it's impossible to get ahead.

Pros

The experience was great. The PI was amazing and kind and I learned a lot, definitely would do it again. It yielded great results for me such as publication. I recommend for medical school or graduate school.

Cons

Difficult to justify if you don’t plan to have a research career, graduate or professional school because the pay is lower than other positions available in Blacksburg.
