Pros

Davis is a beautiful city. It is very safe. It has very good weather. It is very close to big metropolis. One can get a decent degree

Cons

For getting a degree, Professors clearly exploit the life of students and makes it that does not worth to get a degree. Most of the porfessor has the attitude of you will get a degree and I will make you pay for it towards graduate students.

It's a college job

Pros

They're very lenient about work hours. They know school will come first to students. They don't mind working with you until you get the hang of things.

Cons

You will be asked to do the same task over and over. Additionally, planning isn't the greatest, especially for minor projects and you may actually be asked to do something and then promptly un do it. It's kinda ridiculous.

Pros

Good and smart people, a nice place to work. There are good benefits and a quality atmosphere. Not high stress.

Cons

It's a public university, so funding depends on the state, leading to furloughs and possible layoffs always looming. Not exactly big bucks.
