Pros

The location is good, and the lab includes a big variety of resources.

Cons

Some scientists, so-called "PI" here, don't quite support their postdoc's career, although high work load are assigned to postdoc. For example, the opportunity for postdocs to go outside for conference is much smaller than in universities, though the PIs keep flying everywhere to present the data from their postdocs. So sad and discouraging!
