Pros

great team, good benefits (PTO)

Cons

you work very hard, write the grants to bring in all the money, are pushed to meet recruitment goals, deadlines, write manuscripts, present at conference, only to be severely underpaid for the work your doing. I would say everyone I work with lives a very modest life, and we all struggle to stay at the university because the salaries are just too low and do not match the experience or energy you put into the position.
