Pros

24 days PTO a year, free healthcare available, looks great on your resume, work-life balance is touted.

Cons

everyone has advanced degrees but that doesn't translate practical, real world business acumen, pay is very low, hours are long and work-life balance only happens by using all of your vacation days.

Pros

Great benefits, lots of opportunities, exciting environment

Cons

In academia, where salaries are generally lower than in the corporate sector, there can be a disproportionate amount of arrogance because many people are motivated by prestige and status rather than financial compensation.
