Pros

PSU offers fantastic health and retirement benefits, competitive salaries, and great quality of life.

Cons

Every organization within PSU has it's own work culture, some more dysfunctional than others. OOE, for example, tends to be particularly top-heavy. PSU likes to hire from within so, once accepted, it is fairly easy to change to a different organization within the university.

Pros

flexibility. I'm on a fellowship I won with a great advisor. It is not so good for others.

Cons

An inherently liminal position with severely reduced benefits.
