Pros

Helps with personal development and people skills. If you want a job on campus and you want to work to develop freshman/sophomore aged college kids, this job is for you.

Cons

Maturity level of the students your life with is annoying. I hate having to wake up just to settle a conflict in the middle of the night.

Pros

My supervisor was fantastic: provided good feedback, flexibility in work schedule, opportunities for professional growth.

Cons

Usually 1-2 year contract, determined by grant funding and availability Workplace experience is more dependent on the individual researcher/research lab you end up working for than the university as a whole
