Pros

Strong focus on work-life balance. Lots of benefits-- solid medical and dental. Great environment if you like being around academics. Not a corporate environment. Very stable.

Cons

There is almost no room to grow beyond a certain (mid-level) position. Focus is on faculty, who have nearly all the high-level positions. Mid-to-upper management is most concerned with keeping things running-- not on innovating systems. That effort is put in on the academic side. Staff positions are primarily support staff-- perpetuating low-income brackets.

It is a very friendly environment and was a great learning environment to be a part of for a summer or academic year.

Cons

Had to work seven days a week due to the nature of the things I was working with.

Pros

The experience depends on the faculty advisor, but they are generally very kind and accommodating, and include RAs in discussion. Very responsive and good communication.

Cons

Aside from lab or group meetings, the experience can be isolating and very independent work. If you work in the lab, participants come from all over and can sometimes be rude or uncooperative.
