Pros

Having the opportunity to work with an astoundingly bright group of students with an insatiable desire to learn. Pay that is proportional to full-time faculty salaries for the same position, rather than the insulting pay offered part-timers at many institutions - including pension benefits. And full benefits for teaching three or more classes per year.

Cons

Trying to keep up with students who are undoubtedly smarter than you are.

Pros

High quality core facilities and well resourced labs. Countless brilliant colleagues who can serve as mentors and collaborators

Cons

Students and Postdocs are expensive due to high overhead, so unreasonably high productivity is often expected compared to other institutions. PIs are typically stretched very thin. Most departments/labs are very space limited which makes it harder to do safe and productive research.
