Pros

Nice campus environment (if you work on campus - but many positions are located off-campus), availability of convenient university resources (library, rec center, shops and dining, entertainment). The department in which you work is what determines your actual work environment and conditions - and this can vary greatly.

Cons

If you are in a screwed-up department, poor leadership, office politics and completely ineffective work processes may drive you crazy. Don't expect a raise - no raises since 2005, and those were only about 2%. Fight hard for a high starting salary because that's where you'll be for years.
