Pros

- Equipment. Penn State offers some of the most advanced equipment currently available to the private sector. - Location. State College is a wonderfully safe little town with lots of charm. - Students. Working with students can be a rewarding experience.

Cons

- Pay. It really isn't the best. - Raises. Almost non-existent recently. - Being wage payroll/adjunct. You may as well give up trying to move into a full time position from either of these. - Management. The ones I have encountered are a little out of their element.

Cons

An inherently liminal position with severely reduced benefits.
