Pros

I worked as an assistant to a science lab. The environment was non competitive, probably because everyone was focused on their research.

Cons

-job can get boring, not much going on, maybe an inundation of work at times, pretty bad pay to start with

Pros

Flexibility in jobs and ability to transfer within the university. Ability to take classes and good opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Used to be best place in the area to work. Strong benefits and good raises - not so much with the current economic situation and the new president whose salary and retirement benefits are not affected. Job security isn't a given anymore and we've gone 2 years without raises.
