Pros

The name and the science there. People work with Scripps are mostly postdoc, after your postdoc training there, it is relatively easier to find a job than other university or research insitute. La Jolla/San Diego is a good place to live, constant weather, tons of entertainment around.

Cons

Rather expensive place to live. Housing and food are generally higher than other states. The salary depends on which professor you work with, sometimes, the pay is too low that you can barely lived in La Jolla. Scripps only sponsor J-1 visa for postdoc, which is not as flexible as a H-1 visa.
