Pros

Rice has nice benefits for postdocs, and a very good 21 vacation days per year. It supports H1-B very well, even has funding to cover the fees. Rice has a very nice campus. Overall, it's a good place for a temporary postdoc position.

Cons

As a postdoc, the position is always temporary, and the salary is always low. It depends a lot on the funding, the lab, and the PI, etc.

Pros

Best reason to work for Rice is its hard to get fired as a staff member. You have to do something really stupid.

Cons

There are none that I can think of besides the fact that as a staff member there is not much room for advancement.
