Pros

Work around your schedule very much if you're a student. My supervisor personally was understanding if you needed to call out because exams, or if you were late a few times. I've worked several positions at ASU--- talking about another also (this one being a temp job; the other being part time), this one had a lot of opportunities to "advancement," like to keep working with them, but with a different title and taking on even more jobs, though the pay was the same and the supervisors at this one were terrible and with unrealistic expectations and lots of boring meetings

Cons

For the part time one, there were few cons: when people you served gave even moderate reviews like not the absolute highest rating you were reprimanded, the other being my supervisors' supervisors had unrealistic expectations and were pretty harsh. For my temp job there were all kinds of cons-- lots of boring meetings, micromanagement, getting talked down to, claimed they wanted things to be a certain way but once they got that way they'd complain, etc. I also have friends who were told to work overtime and were never paid for it

Pros

Tuition waiver for employee and dependents. Opportunity to go to school at a fraction of the cost.

Cons

The people that get promoted are not always the most qualified. To many managers move up because of politics vs. knowledge and those managers are very good at delegating - aka having others do the work for them, but are unable to train their employees or do the job themselves. However those same managers will quickly terminate an employee for failing to do the job. Managers abuse the exempt status, but expect their exempt employees to document every minute of their work schedule - many double standards. Managers constantly get raises, yet the employees don't due to budget cuts. I saw one manager get competitive salary raises 3x in 1.5 years yet the employees under her did not get a dime. Another manager went from $36,000 a year to earning over $67,000 a year in the course of 6 years. Managers are very good a promoting themselves or finding money in the budget to give themselves raises.
