Pros

Nothing in real terms, waste of life! Salary is about average, but what you use, if you are not values as an employee.

Cons

PSU administrators serve the interests of all the greedy people who run as Board of Trustees! To increase liquor sales in State College. To waste money bu inflated budgets on projects that benefit their surrogates. ABSOLUTELY pathetic, real meaning of P! You can survive only if you lick boots of administrators! Absolute dictatorship, no value for hard work.

Pros

My supervisor was fantastic: provided good feedback, flexibility in work schedule, opportunities for professional growth.

Cons

Usually 1-2 year contract, determined by grant funding and availability Workplace experience is more dependent on the individual researcher/research lab you end up working for than the university as a whole
