Pros

Research and flexibility, with the ability to set your own schedule. Pay is great for entry-level positions

Cons

Difficult to get staff research position and the pay is not competitive for PhD. Be careful to avoid the postdoc positions unless really interested in doing the same work and getting paid half the amount. I was paid more after Bachelor's than the current postdoc salary.
