Pros

Quality of science and access to resources is second to none. Benefits for postdocs are far better than other academic institutions and include: subsidized housing (very close to work), subsidized daycare (located at the university), good health insurance, and miscellaneous employee discounts and perks.

Cons

Pay is still far under non-academic salaries, no 401K matching.
