Pros

Benefits are good for the area and industry. Environment is progressively getting better. Area is beautiful and never short on outdoor activities.

Cons

There were instances of the “good old boys club” where you see employees be retained or promoted when they should not be.

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
