      Pros

      No intense work needed, the pay is good and can use the facilities.

      Cons

      Horrible Boss and the timings are really bad. Mainly the boss is the worst part.

      Pros

      Note this is all for being an summer RA at Boston University Tanglewood Institute -Managers were a part of the residential life community, many of them had been RAs or even students there -Fellow RAs were very friendly and welcoming, and I could count on them to help me out in a pinch -We all had plenty of time off, since our on-call shifts were long and could be stressful -Good compensation for a summer job for college students, especially since they provided room and board -Having passes to Tanglewood is an amazing perk, particularly if you enjoy classical music

      Cons

      -Since we were in a small town, there's not a lot to do with your time off - I'd recommend having a time-off project (like reading a book series or teaching yourself a new skill) to make sure you don't get bored.
