Business Outlook
Pros
-Virtually unlimited lab resources -No grant writing required, or in some cases not allowed -There are experts in everything, can learn a lot -Good salaries, good benefits, very regular and predictable hours (40/wk).
Cons
-Most research on campus is academic and can be obscure -No path upwards from postdoc, unless you want to be a life long staff scientist. -It's very hierarchical. Your opinions don't matter.
