Pros

If you're lazy and have no scruples you can work here. I'm resigning and am so happy to be done with the drama.

Cons

Management is awful, they hire people with no supervisory experience. People are lazy to the point of actually sleeping on the job and getting away with it. No merit raises, you're at the mercy of the legislature, and the most you get is only 2%. That's across the board, so if you do your job well you only get the same as the sleeper. The office itself is rundown and in an unsafe neighborhood. The supervisor is an airhead who has no clue about leadership. Most of my co-workers spend their days gossiping about whatever.

Pros

Some really great professors with a lot of experience and connections to labs, industry, government, etc. Research is highly relevant and world-class.

Cons

Some professors can be quite toxic or over-demanding of their students. Would recommend thoroughly researching PIs before committing to one for masters or phd. Also, NCSU has notoriously bad upper-level management. Huge delays in the bureaucracy result in PIs missing out on million-dollar grants. Although the professors may care deeply for their students, the people above them don't care at all and have no interest in listening to professors or students about how to improve the school.
