Pros

The faculty and students, the resources (in terms of equipment, literature, etc) are unparalleled; most people are willing to help out if they have the time

Cons

There is a bit of competitiveness in this type of environment; faculty could be very busy and unaccessible at times. Being a research assistant sometimes mean being very self-motivated

Pros

Interesting colleagues, work can be challenging and fun. There's lot of cutting edge work going on around campus and access to lectures and other activities is enriching.

Cons

Departments and offices are inconsistently run, depending on your supervisor you can have a great experience or an awful one. There's no attempt to set institutional standards around supervision or performance management. The human resources department doesn't intervene, even when situations become so severe that legal action is involved.
