Pros

Lots of good infrastructure, generally good funding environment, nice people who are very passionate about their respective fields. If you're motivated you can achieve some great publications due to the reputation, expertise and resources available here.

Cons

Depending on where you work at LBL safety can be overbearing or not enough. In addition, the same applies depending on what PI you work for.

Pros

Beautiful location, you oversee the Bay, Golden Gate Bridge and SF. Research environment, great bridge for academics to transition to a more applied research. Benefits quite good

Cons

Low wages, especially in the scientific staff. Basically no career progression. Offices are a mixed bags (some departments have brand new buildings, others have very old buildings). Do not rely on their immigration services to get anything beyond temporary work visas.
