You can participate in research and write papers 8. Pretty campus 9. Free seminars 10. Some time flexibility 11. Decent benefits
Cons
Pay is the the worse thing about working in any academic place. Salaries are about 3/4 what you would expect elsewhere. Since pay is often grant base, it can disappear.
