Pros
Beautiful campus and surroundings; great holiday schedule and PTO benefits; a chance to work alongside some really intelligent individuals; decent employer contribution to your 401k; Caltech is recognized worldwide for its excellence in education and research; very good work-life balance.
Cons
Typically low pay; the campus is pretty small, so transferring can be difficult and very competitive; not all divisions operate the same, so some employees enjoy schedule flexibility and holiday perks more than others - it's a matter of getting lucky and landing in a division/department that fits with your preferences/needs.
