I wish I had paid more attention to the Asshole Factor when I "interviewed." But I was too excited about being paid to study, I guess... 5 years down the line, too late to do much about it now (other than take on a co-chair in a different department, which is what I did). So yeah, make sure you know who you're going to work with, especially if it's a PhD program.
