Pros

I had great support as a researcher. Some PIs are more difficult to work with than others, so the important thing is finding a PI that is supportive.

Cons

Work is very much independent and you have to be motivated. You will likely spend more time on research than the typical 40 hours a week.

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