Pros

The brilliant students and faculty

Cons

Despite being one of the richest Universities in the world, Stanford refuses to pay its employees living wages. Yes, this includes the people that teach the classes, if they are not tenure-track faculty. And now, even the tenure-track faculty are living paycheck to paycheck, with the administration cutting one-off deals to keep high profile Professors from fleeing this ongoing cost of living crisis. Consider this - if that is how the problem is being 'solved' for the employees they really care about, how likely are things to improve for everyone else?
