Pros

There are many non-money benefits. Vacation time is excellent. There's even a pension. MIT has many intangible benefits for the person who likes to work in a city.

Cons

Salary is politicized. As someone without a PhD, my salary is limited because I'm not considered top rank, though I have more experience than any post-doc. Like any big corporation, the red tape can sometimes get you down.
