      Pros

      The benefits are amazing, though they have gone considerably downhill of late

      Cons

      Penn State has developed an attitude that IT does not need competitive pay, they have become a farm for IT professionals to grow and then leave to find better work

      Pros

      My supervisor was fantastic: provided good feedback, flexibility in work schedule, opportunities for professional growth.

      Cons

      Usually 1-2 year contract, determined by grant funding and availability Workplace experience is more dependent on the individual researcher/research lab you end up working for than the university as a whole
