Pros

A bunch of free snacks

Cons

I was told I was doing a great job up until the day they fired me. Direct supervision is aloof and inattentive, then blames all faults on you. In retrospect they are also unbelievably cruel and only seek to position themselves positively. Direct management also has a shocking lack of technical skills or computer knowledge, and relies on others entirely to do even the most basic technology related tasks. In addition, the scope of the job’s responsibilities was far beyond what was indicated during the interview process. In my last position before this at a different school, 6 people were doing the tasks concentrated into this one position.

Pros

Wonderful lab culture. Great learning environment. Opportunities to grow laboratory technique skills and work independently on solo project. Many chances to present findings at data meetings or poster conferences. If you are an undergraduate looking for research experience, look into what each professor is researching, reach out to them, and be yourself. They want to teach people who are open to learning and willing to try new things.

Cons

Takes a lot of time. You need to invest in what the professor is researching, read previous literature published to get familiar with the research topic and hypothesis. Not a lot of networking opportunities, so you have to be the one to initiate and find them yourself.
