Pros

Free MBTA pass, which just started in September. Before that, there is the pension.

Cons

Abusive culture, staff members overload support staff with excessive work, with no opportunity for promotions. Low pay, 2% raise, expensive parking, expensive food. Staff members are protected, no matter how bad they treat you

Pros

High quality core facilities and well resourced labs. Countless brilliant colleagues who can serve as mentors and collaborators

Cons

Students and Postdocs are expensive due to high overhead, so unreasonably high productivity is often expected compared to other institutions. PIs are typically stretched very thin. Most departments/labs are very space limited which makes it harder to do safe and productive research.
