Pros

It depends on the research lab you work with, but the flexibility with being able to work from home is nice. Your boss is required to respect your academic schedule and workload.

Cons

IU caps the pay rate, so even if you deserve a raise, you most likely won't get one. Whether or not you get paid can also depend on your lab's access to funding, and the IU financial department can be a mess at times.
