Pros

- Amazing facilities - Great research culture - Fantastic campus - Ideal location

Cons

If you end up with a monster of a boss, you will have no recourse or options. You just get bullied until you quit. HR and finance are a nightmare, HR especially. No one picks up the phone and there is no accountability, Accountability in general is a problem - tenured staff are not made accountable for their actions, inactions, and decisions. Some are great people who are very ethical, but there are plenty of lazy, entitled, shiftless, useless stuffed suits who do nothing but take up space. You can spend your whole life at work and it's never enough.
