Pros

Nice environment, relatively good pay for graduate students, surrounded by intelligent people, university has your back when dealing with undergrads.

Cons

As a graduate student, you are relatively expendable. The culture varies greatly by department, but the bureaucracy is invariant. Coming in, there's a song and dance about what a loving family the department is, but at the end of the day it's a job. After signing on the dotted line, be prepared to deal with funding issues.

Pros

Great benefits, excellent retirement options, generous leave, and strong job stability. The campus environment is welcoming, and there are opportunities for professional development and continuing education. The work is meaningful, and many departments foster a collaborative atmosphere with a good work-life balance.

Cons

Salaries can be lower than comparable positions in the private sector, and hiring, promotions, and other administrative processes can move slowly due to university policies. Budget constraints may affect raises and staffing, and parking can be challenging depending on your work location.
