      Pros

      2 weeks paid vacation a year, great health plan, and matching 401(k) contributions up to 5%. Holy smokes, Batman! It's great. There's always something interesting on campus; research talks, student group activities, shows, hacks, you name it. And if you can't network here, you can't do it anywhere.

      Cons

      In a sponsored research staff position supported by grant funding, there are no opportunities for raises. Salaried positions are paid monthly, which is kind of a pain.

      Pros

      The faculty and students, the resources (in terms of equipment, literature, etc) are unparalleled; most people are willing to help out if they have the time

      Cons

      There is a bit of competitiveness in this type of environment; faculty could be very busy and unaccessible at times. Being a research assistant sometimes mean being very self-motivated
