Pros

- rigorous research being conducted - many relevant and world renowned faculty to learn from

Pros

Independence, degree you can get pid for if you're on the PhD route

Cons

Your experience will be highly (perhaps almost entirely) dependent on your choice of advisor/PI, since generally they're responsible for helping develop you as a researcher. Make the wrong choice and it can be miserable.
