Pros

I can’t think of any except the select few mentors who actually cared about my success.

Cons

Grad students are overworked (16 + hours/day) and not appreciated. Professors are unprofessional and unethical, in some departments, and the deans do nothing because of tenure or grant money. Go somewhere else where the town is better, and professors do their jobs as mentors instead of treating students like slaves.

Pros

You will gain a ton of experience working with large scale research projects. Most of the employees (outside of upper management) are fantastic. The center is under the umbrella of a research university so the benefits are pretty good. This center is a good place to work if you are using it as a jumping off point. You will work long hours and will be undervalued, but you will gain enough experience to make you marketable for another company/organization that is properly managed.

Cons

Upper management is completely disconnected from the needs of the center's employees. There is zero flexibility and no concern for employees' work/life balance. Project management is a joke. Project managers try their best, but they are at the mercy of an over-promising executive director who knows nothing about project development. The center is severely understaffed given the scale of projects that the center (executive director) undertakes.
