      Pros

      Very productive faculty, well focused. Cheap location to live, top notch research facilities. Rapidly blooming In engineering reputation and prestige.

      Cons

      Somewhat small town requires getting used to. Unpleasant winters, though typical for Midwest. Can be a very competitive environment depending on research group.

      Pros

      Job Security great place for individuals that strive to simply get by in life. No drug tests or background checks required for most position. Great place to work. Faculty has life time job security.

      Cons

      Mediocre performance is rewarded. Tuition Assistance policy is horrible for a premier research institution. Compensation practices are horrible. Compensation is based on date of hire not experience. I could have more experience than someone working in my department but get paid less based on date of hire. Reduced benefits and flat salary with no expectation of an increase. This place doesn't place value on diversity.
