Pros

Great training in the lab and for your career. Tons of great resources available - sometimes at your fingertips and sometimes you have to seek them out.

Cons

It's a huge machine and can sometimes be a bit daunting to navigate. Get to know the Administrative Officers and Administrative Assistants to help you navigate. PIs and other scientists that have been around a long time can also guide you.
