Pros

Great opportunity for students to work while earning a ridiculously expensive degree. Lots of opportunities available. Overall a decent place to work. Turnover is relatively low.

Cons

Student wages are absolutely terrible considering the work being done. There is little opportunity for growth with the university if that's what you want to do.

Pros

They were very flexible with hours and it was a fun place to work. There was lots of downtime to do other things while on the clock, and an e-bike to get around campus quickly.

Cons

Toward the end they got pretty strict about keeping your computer on a certain tab to take online tickets, and you could get in trouble for not doing it. It’s tedious work overall.

Pros

flexibility. I'm on a fellowship I won with a great advisor. It is not so good for others.

Cons

An inherently liminal position with severely reduced benefits.
