Pros

The faculty and students, the resources (in terms of equipment, literature, etc) are unparalleled; most people are willing to help out if they have the time

Cons

There is a bit of competitiveness in this type of environment; faculty could be very busy and unaccessible at times. Being a research assistant sometimes mean being very self-motivated
