I worked in an office where my position was new. The manager had no idea what to do with me and simply left me floundering only hiring a supervisor after I had been in the position for three years.

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
