Pros

Definitely a lot of benefits no matter what role you play, you can thank the union for that. As with many academic environments the work environment can be fairly laid back, with very flexible hours. Summer are particularly laid back.

Cons

Academic environment is fairly laid back, but there can be a fair amount of bureaucracy in between you and getting the job done, which can cause many frustrations.

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.
