Vacation & Paid Time Off

no vacation or paid off time as a graduate student

Depends on managers, but mine has been very flexible

This depends of your advisor but mine has been accommodating as long as I get the work done.

Fine, but heaven forbid you ever try and change the days you took vacation. Again, HR has no idea how to use workday and workday makes no sense so it will take you like 8 emails if you have to change the days you took vacation.

Depending on job level, vacation and paid time off can be very flexible.

Lots of paid time off. There is a great work/life balance.

4 weeks to start and a bonus week at the holiday break that is not counted as your PTO.

Exempt employees get 4 weeks a year vacation, hourly staff start at 2 weeks. Sick time accrues at different rates for both groups as well. ~10 paid holidays throughout the year, plus almost 2 weeks at Christmas.

No paid time off for Teaching assistant of course. But you are flexible to your own schedule. It's an alternative benefit.
