Pros

I had a lot of time to do coursework.

Cons

Spent the better part of 2 years updating a blog. The position was mis-represented and I was not able to gain any real-world experience in the research area I was interested in. If it wasn't for the partial tuition stipend, I would have left after the first month. Co-workers rarely said "hello" to each other. Supervisor was never available and often forgot what work had been assigned.
