Pros

- good laboratory and biology experience - paid - can be fun once you reach the end of the summer and tasks go by faster

Cons

- barely any training - they expect you to know where things are and exactly what to do by yourself on the first day without much guidance - educators give either too much or too little work, you're either running around all day or doing nothing - disorganized - either way too many interns works or not enough

Pros

Fantastic location. Friendly people and a very good working atmosphere. Pay went up recently. Generally good benefits package.

Cons

Postdocs are seen as a temporary labour force. So longer term benefits like pensions are not good. Employer prefers postdocs who publish one or two great studies then move on. So few incentives to nuture long-term talent. This is reflected in somewhat spare core facilities.
