Pros

Unionized. All benefits paid. Full transparency on pay.

Cons

Postdoctoral positions are prone to fluctuations in grant funding and whether or not you agree with your boss. If you're international, please make sure your boss isn't an p.o.s. Also, UC police will beat you if you attend a pro-Palestine demonstration.
