Pros

The openness, resource and knowledge in such a research and higher-ed institution. All that smart people -- professors and students. Being part of the knowledge-quest keeps you on the edge, and gives you continuous exposure to new developments, young fearless minds. Horns my teaching and performing skills of course. A nice change to a regular full-time R&D job.

Cons

Hardly any career-advancement , since this is a part-time teaching job. Heavy workload considering it's merely an addition to another full-time job. Rather complicated logistics and bureaucracy in the supporting functions.

Pros

They have a lot of resources, the campus is pretty, the students are engaged

They censor your political speech, punish you for activism, and have been known to call the NYPD to commit police brutality on campus
