Pros

Working as a research assistant here will help you to get a higher-up job elsewhere due to the name recognition of the institution.

Cons

Research assistantship positions are increasingly scarce due to the poor job market, which leads PhD students to remain at the University continuing to conduct research and competing with current students.
