      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.

      Pros

      The weather at best. I can't say much more. It is a great place to go if you are a sociopath that wants to make a lot of money and meet fellow Patrick Bateman types.

      Cons

      A toxic working environment. Situated in a very difficult to navigate suburban environment. Very little social life for young students and professionals. Very little soul. People here are self, rather than group oriented. Corruption is rampant, especially among the professors; famously this even includes our former president.
