Pros

Tuition benefit, flexible work schedule

Cons

Non-academic staff are treated poorly. If you have a request, send it through a Dean or a Professor if you actually want it to get done, if it comes from a staff member it's not going to happen.

Pros

If you a PhD student, you never have to worry about money or funding. Professors have a lot of funding for different research projects.

Cons

The EE department/professors are not very supportive of the PhD students. Most of them are not typically patient with students if they are taking their time with projects. They replace them with new students.
