Pros

Lots of opportunity to work on cutting edge practices and software development, strong connections to companies that are large and matter, strong connections to individuals in the education and research world who know people all over.

Cons

Payment schedules are unreliable for undergraduate assistants. If you have time to sort through the various levels of paperwork you can get paid on time, but it is far too easy to slip through the cracks and then require a month to get back on track. Not good when it's your primary source of income. Frequently asked to work a rough schedule or get things done on weekends.

Great Research Environment, with multiple opportunities for collaboration. A great place overall for grad school!

Cons

Can be a bit competitive at times, but really depends on the lab / advisor you work with

Pros

- Free Housing - Meal Plan - One of the better on campus job for students in my opinion (still able to be involved in other activities as a student on campus)

Cons

- Duty part of the job (Being on call and getting late night lock outs but this is rare), and definitely can still do homework in between doing duty rounds - experience can also depend on your hall director / area (but regardless still served on great RA teams, can be great if you have a co-ra but also been good at time being a single RA on the floor (no need to coordinate schedule if you do events together as a single RA unless you alternate events with your co)
