Pros

Working here, you get to meet a number of very intelligent, very motivated people. You get to learn an entirely new skill set (in my case, anyway). The time is flexible and for a non-career position, the benefits and pay are very good. People are willing to patiently teach you a new skill or system without becoming irritated, and everyone is friendly and open.

Cons

Some of the labs can be very difficult to work with, because when they do things improperly or without the required process, they tend to blame shoddy results on the administrative office, rather than on their own lack of attention to detail and procedure.

Pros

There is a lot of potential for experience and diversity. You can get what you want by being part of campus social groups that will ultimately get you into higher jobs.

Cons

Too many silos of separate realms of control. Each department is under their own management so there is no cohesiveness with central IT.
