      Pros

      Reputation is amazing. Lots of funding sources and lots of inter-department collaboration. It's also a beautiful town and spectacular campus.

      Cons

      Ridiculously long hours for not too much pay. The quality of work and life depends a lot on who your supervisor is.

      Pros

      Cornell University provides excellent benefits to faculty and staff, including good retirement plan options and pretty decent health insurance coverage. Salaries are good (especially given the cost of living in the area).

      Cons

      Ithaca is in the middle of nowhere. If you place any value of having access to good shopping and an active dating scene, Ithaca is not the place for you. However, it is a good city for raising a family.
