Pros

Independent work with enough down time to allow you to read or do literally anything you want

Cons

Terrible hours, rotating days and nights for 12 hours shifts, with one week off of work every month. The switch onto and off of night shift is terrible. I had many visual and auditory hallucinations while alone in the lab at night. "But that week off is nice," is a common refrain heard at work. Everyone hates being there, but the week off is what keeps you coming back.
