Pros

Overall, It's been a great experience working in a research lab. The faculty and students are very friendly. There are plenty of opportunities to work closely with faculty on research projects. There are many chances to cross-train in various areas too. Also, the benefits are great and flexible schedules are a plus.

Cons

The pay is low and pay raises don't happen often. Approval process is slow. There aren't many opportunities for advancement if you work in a research lab. Parking is a hassle during the school year, on-campus and off-campus.
