Maybe it was just my department, and I would fair better working in another college. But it was so disorganized, constant micromanaging, no one knew what they were doing. Terrible management and pay.

Worst job I've ever had. I couldn't even walk away from my desk without telling someone exactly where I was going. I felt like I was in high school again.

As a PhD Candidate, the work experience is completely dependent on the chairperson of your committee. The university itself is very beautiful and full of very advanced resources. The libraries and librarians are top-notch. The laboratory instruments are up-to-date. There are also two independent labs with every advanced piece of equipment you would – more... need on campus. They may charge your department for training and/or use, but it is better than having to send samples off. Publications are the biggest emphasis. Get published as much as you can in peer-reviewed literature...not only is it good for your resume, but it can usually serve as chapters in your dissertation. – less
