    Good for research experience only
    The good thingsWith proper guidance and mentorship, you can gain valuable research experience if you intend to apply for grad school
    The challengesEnvironment can get extremely political and sometimes toxic. As a university that claims to pride itself in its research, it's unfortunate they do not value research staff in terms of benefits and bonuses. Career development is heavily limited. Some group leaders have limited research funding.
