Pros

There are good benefits and lots of resources.

Cons

There seems to be a major lack of institutional oversight. Reviews simply do not occur. Small problems are left to fester and become bigger problems. Abuse is allowed to occur, and while MIT does everything they can to avoid a lawsuit, they do absolutely nothing to actually help the people being abused. This was my experience as well as the experience of many of my colleagues. I did complain about a specific issue of abuse and after nearly a year of fighting for a healthy work environment, I had to leave my job in order to find any respite, with no changes in the day to day abuses in the interim. MIT talks a big game with numerous policies and calls-to-action, but can't (or won't) live up to their own ideals.

Tour Guide

Pros

Being a tour guide at MIT is a lot of fun. You get to help a lot of highschoolers narrow their college decisions, while also being able to escape the MIT bubble for a little while.

Cons

At times it can be stressful when you have a tour and a lot of homework and you must complete both. Though everything I guarantee will work out in the end.
