Re: Corporate Campus Sponsored Teams.
MY team builds at a local Ford plant, one huge con is the amount of room. My team and a few others that I have talked to who build at their sponsor's location have very little build space; we are cramped into a room that is about the size of a bedroom. Another con is dealing with security. The only benefit we actually have by working there, is they give us space for a full sized field and normally build some of it for us... free of charge! If you think machining is easier, make sure you don't work in a place with a union, they expect overtime for any parts that are for you. As far as tools go, we aren't allowed to use any of Ford's stuff due to liability. 
Hope this helps
