Pros

Depends on who your PI is, but working in an academic environment is laid back and flexible schedule. Still have to put in your work to get something out of it. Salary is decent for the area. Lots of student support for improving skills for positions in academia. A lot of good communication between peers, mentors, and administrators.

Cons

Not a lot of support for positions in industry, but there are some. Management and HR is always changing or coming up with something new. Not much culture or stuff to do in the area.

Pros

Excellent benefits, flexible working hours and low pressure.

Cons

Hires are base on friendship, don't waste your time if you don't have a friend in the job that you are applying for.

Pros

Excellent understanding with hours for students. They give you plenty of opportunity for growth and allow for creative thinking. Good pay for students.

Cons

Being at a public university there wasn't always the ability to easily finance projects. It is no fault of the University but may be a different culture if coming from a private background.
