Pros

With my position the tuition was included in my stipend. I was able to obtain a doctoral degree with minimal debt.

Cons

The pay is not exceptionally great, be prepared to look for a roommate as the rent near the university is very high

Pros

Decent Benefits, Nice Amounts of Time off

Cons

Staff are the lowest of the totem pole and you KNOW it. Pay not enough to live by yourself as a working adult in State College Area. Will waste your time if there's nothing to do by requiring you to sit there while faculty and admin get to "work from home" (they really don't) President Benepudi will probably give herself 2 more $1.5 million pay increases while you work there unable to afford a simple apartment by yourself.
