Pros

Good benefits such as 401k and insurance.

Cons

Below market salary, mediocre facilities, poor research faculty retention, severely declining core facilities. Outrageous parking costs require taking metro then a shuttle bus to get to work. The main problem is that there is ZERO support for entry researchers and lower level faculty.

Pros

You learn a lot about how the institution works at an administrative level. You also get to meet many of the higher ups in the university and attend many events.

Cons

You perform most of the grunt work that others do not want to do.

Pros

Learning environment Access to the library Tuition benefits allow you to obtain a degree (You still need to be able to get into the program though and depending on your department they may not be too supportive of it)

Cons

Salary Management can be hit or miss - it all depends on your department. No clear path to climb for administrative and/or student support positions. You just have to get lucky, but otherwise you can easily stay in the same position for years.
