Pros

Colleagues are great, benefits are good, working with with students is great.

Cons

Management struggles and impact are noticeable, micromanagement, lack of autonomy is frustrating if you have not been here a while and gotten used to it. No opportunities for upward growth, lack of ongoing supervision coupled with very large student loads is challenging. Could make more money in private practice.

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.
