      Pros

      Great facilities, great faculty who care about students

      Cons

      Sexual assaults have occurred in the area for the period I was here. I wouldn't say it was more than a large college might have, but people should still be careful about not wandering around at night There are also problems with management wanting to keep people under 40 hours of work so they don't have to pay benefits

      Pros

      My supervisor was fantastic: provided good feedback, flexibility in work schedule, opportunities for professional growth.

      Cons

      Usually 1-2 year contract, determined by grant funding and availability Workplace experience is more dependent on the individual researcher/research lab you end up working for than the university as a whole
