Pros

Great place to work in. The engineering school has a great brand and I'm looking forward to a research position.

Cons

Some might not like Lafayette/West Lafayette but I think it's a wonderful place. Also, the salaries might be lower than other universities but the cost of living is pretty good. Also, there's a notion that as you drift from the Midwest the brand name recognition decreases ; understandably so, since people will always feel better about the top universities closer to home (e.g. Berkeley would probably trump Harvard in CA).

Pros

Friendly environment, the professors that need the assistant of students to teach the class gives the students a great opportunity to begin networking.

Cons

The amount of work load at some times can be overwhelming trying to explain hard to understand material to the incoming students
