You get to experience a wide variety of people from many different backgrounds. Also a variety and sometimes rare medical problems that challenge and tests your abilities. Thus increasing your knowledge and experience.

Management! Shady, favoritism. Horrible communication.

Pros

* Good benefits * Pension * Good work/life balance

Cons

* Recent changes to pension are worrying for young employees far from retirement. (Will it be there when I retire?) * Salary is not on par with private sector - but that is to be expected from a public University. * Budget cuts are resulting in layoffs and general downsizing.

Pros

Most students are given GSR positions which pays for tuition and gives a decent stipend. The hours are super flexible and the PI's are both supportive and knowledgeable.

Cons

GSR's don't pay much, but it covers tuition and a stipend.
