Pros

Rockefeller University has state-of-the-art facilities, and all the support one needs to do science. It is a small institution, but attracts a lot of really smart people that create a great research environment. The University has competitive salaries, generous benefits, and a lot of perks and support for its employees.

Cons

The University is located in New York's Upper East Side, a great but very expensive region. The cost of living around here is high.
