Pros

Ucr is tucked away in the deserty hills east of Orange County and Los Angeles. Postdocs in general make little money for all their work, but I enjoyed my time in the psychology department. Nice staff, good diversity across campus.

Cons

Could have better eating options on and off campus. Weather can be unbearably hot in summer. Not considered "premier" academic institution, but it holds its weight.

Great institution serving a diverse student population. Plenty of interesting research labs. Decent benefits.

Cons

Commuter school so traffic and parking can be terrible. Select your PI wisely, and ensure healthy work life balance.
