Pros

If you like applied math, especially computational science, this is a great place to apply!

Cons

The teaching assistant work include teaching as instructors instead of only grading or TAing... But you can always try to get founding from research instead if you are not a big fan of teaching:)

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.
