Pros

A great environment to do research. Professors are very knowledgeable and helpful. Some professors will treat you more like a colleague than a student.

Cons

Some professors do micromanage, so make sure to talk to graduate students in their labs. Some graduate students are treated like cheap labor and are not even given a fair salary compared to other graduate students.

Great institution serving a diverse student population. Plenty of interesting research labs. Decent benefits.

Commuter school so traffic and parking can be terrible. Select your PI wisely, and ensure healthy work life balance.
