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

Lack of corporate pressure, feeling of contributing to the greater good, great benefits and paid time off, competitive salary, world class research institution looks great on a CV

Cons

Potentially difficult to move up within the hierarchy if you do not have a good manager/director. Food options on campus are limited.
