Pros

The major benefit is access to the libraries.

Cons

It's a hellish place to work. The administrators are anti-intellectual and so undermine all research-oriented work. HR routinely assigns far more duties to the lowest salary grade than can possibly be accomplished during the "standard" 35-hour work week, resulting in forced unpaid overtime to not get a bad annual review. And compensation has declined every year for 8 years: there are zero cost-of-living raises and each year benefits covered are reduced thus increasing the out-of-pocket costs for medical, dental, and vision healthcare substantially.
