Pros

Wonderful, supportive work place. Like going to work everyday with your best friends. The Faculty are also so great to work with, to assist. We also loved our students.

Cons

None. If I didn't live out on the west side of Houston and traffic to work didn't take a couple of hours a day, or more, I would happily return to work at either Rice University or University of Houston.
