Pros

The network at Penn State is larger than you think. There are so many people that know each other at the University, it is easy to relate to others.

Cons

Make sure you are just as passionate as your employers or you will feel overwhelmed. Make sure you communicate to your employers about your work load.

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
