Cons

Cons - you have to live in Indiana - very competitive graduate programs (cut-throat atmosphere) - politics (but, honestly, academic politics are rough & tumble @ a lot of universities)

Pros

The benefits are fine, but not amazing. There are lots of nice aspects to working on campus. I like the library access.

Cons

Pay is not that great and there is the weird effect of state politics on operations.
