Pros

You get free tuition after 2 years

Cons

This is for the medical center campus. Hierarchical system in which a group of older people who refuse to retire, run the place. No way of moving up, you get a 2% raise and the health insurance goes up 1.8% every year so you lose it all. I have been there for almost 12 years this December and I have only gotten approximately a 7k raise based on inflation which has gone to insurance. If you're looking to actually contribute to your workplace, save yourself some time and headaches, and don't even try it. People here are not open to change. Managers get no formal training and they don't even know basic HR procedures.

Pros

If you a PhD student, you never have to worry about money or funding. Professors have a lot of funding for different research projects.

Cons

The EE department/professors are not very supportive of the PhD students. Most of them are not typically patient with students if they are taking their time with projects. They replace them with new students.
