Pros

Worked for Construction/Finance. Easy tasks. Answer phone calls from contractors, deliver mail to College Park, help project managers with campus projects (i.e. measuring tables, taking pictures of bldgs on campus). If you're in the Finance dept., you file invoices in project binders, update project funds using Microsoft Excel, and other random tasks. Some people are really inspirational. We celebrate everyone's birthdays and expect potlucks often.

Cons

Some people are hard to work with / uncooperative. Some people are inconsistent when giving directions. There seems to be cliques. Can only work 20 hrs (part time) during the school year, but 40 hrs (full time) during Winter + Summer breaks and finals week. Not their fault.. it's the university's rule.

Pros

Great work environment. Management cares about our success and the job is rewarding. Friendly co-workers and neat, clean work area. Fair pay considering the job responsibilities.

Cons

If anything, I would say it would be nice to be able to work more hours sometimes. Some professors don't take us seriously and try to avoid meeting with us SI leaders, which is an issue because those meetings are such a crucial part of our job.
