Pros
Working with leaders in various fields has been a great growth and learning experience. And, working with bright students with fresh ideas has been wonderful. Additionally, my position was very flexible when dealing with time-off for home/family/health issues.
Cons
Support staff turnover seemed to be high. So, things like travel arrangements for conferences, etc. end up best being done by yourself, even though this takes away from your time to do useful research. This is not a criticism of IU specifically, but of academia in general: The amount of time spent writing proposals to get funding seems disproportionate to the benefit.
