Pros

Boston is a great city. You are surrounded by an excellent intellectual atmosphere and the city has great culture and nightlife.

Cons

Again, many (a majority) of the faculty in the department show little commitment to graduate student professional development. That said, I think this is slowly being recognized as the department is making changes under the new chair of the department.
