Pros

People are generally very nice.

Cons

Not sure. I think some of the labs had rivalry among themselves but as a research assistant, it was none of my business.

Pros

Some great people to work with. Interesting problems to work on Flexibility

Cons

You will make more in industry as an American citizen than you ever will getting an advanced degree. Long hours are the norm. Loose rules/regulations. Don't expect to 1 be able to afford to do anything else, 2 have time to do anything else.

Pros

Nice environment to be in

Cons

Upper management in the Deans office doesn't value department employees. Overworks and underpays their staff.
