      Pros

      Excellent laboratory facilities. Potential to work and learn with great people on exciting projects. Plenty of fun and flexibility.

      Cons

      Lost opportunities in the work force. Salary and benefits (tuition, travel, etc.) dependent on funding/who you are working with. Like everything else in grad school, the quality of experience is up to you.

      Pros

      Excellent work life balance. My particular boss never enforced a strict schedule and he encouraged me to not work more than I had to. The university also has a very tight-knit atmosphere that bleeds into the work environment and makes working more enjoyable. Since I worked for a small research group I feel like I had a lot of chances to take on more responsibility and grow professionally.

      Cons

      Lower than average compensation, but that is to be expected in a low cost of living area like Blacksburg. As an employee at VT I worked as a kind of contractor for state agencies. I think there is not as much recognition for that extension side of the university as there is for the research/academia side of the university.
