Pros

Many opportunities to work with professors and interact with staff members over the course of my job. Down time to study when work load is not significant.

Cons

Not that many cons, except the construction in the SMG building has made everything different and more difficult to adjust to. More pros than cons definitely.

Dismal pay as a graduate student. Not a lot of career development guidance for after graduation. Support from administration is lukewarm after first year.

Pros

Was able to practice typing skills and paying attention to detail. Could listen to music. Organizing materials enabled you to see how creative you can get with the files. Everyone was working, no one was working more than another.

Cons

Minimal talking, very quiet work environment. Computers were old. Do not expect to make friends within the office since there is limited communication.
