Pros

You can see where your work actually makes an impact.

Cons

Low pay and long hours. People are quick to point fingers when things go wrong and quick to claim credit for group initiatives. Most people fail to stick around for much more than a year because they use Rice as purely a resume builder to get a better paying job at another institution.
