Pros

Rockefeller is nice and has lots of benefits. Right by the hospital, university housing (a little noisy due to entrance to Manhattan and everyone honking all night long). There is a tennis court and 2 squash courts. Nice views!

Cons

Your experience in with your adviser can be very different. When you get this high in academia, expect some un-compromising and non-understanding professors. I suggest interviewing the professor for personality before you accept.

Pros

Flexible scheduling and some wonderful co-workers

Cons

Favoritism, racism, sexism and everything that goes with the unholy Trinity of unprofessionalism. Management is extremely unprofessional. There are inappropriate sexual relationships in management and it is not secretive. Many of the research technician do not care about the animals that they work with. IACUC is extremely weak and doesn't seem to care what goes on in the labs. You get promoted base on how much gossip you bring to upper management and not on qualifications. Absolutely no diversity in upper management.
