Pros

I have never worked with such a great group of people. From clients within CSU and students that we employ.

Cons

Very strong lack of coordination and communication with higher ups and clients leads the workforce confused on where our goals should be.

Pros

CSU provided me an amazing graduate school experience. I was able to work as an instructor and attend classes while getting my Master's degree. I loved teaching and the professors I worked with were so intelligent and supportive. Fort Collins is one of the best places to live and the CSU campus is absolutely gorgeous. I wouldn't trade this graduate school experience for anything.

Cons

Like any graduate level assistantship, student employees get paid little to nothing. The hardest part of working here was negotiating the workplace politics within the department. Every place has them, but these workplace politics were especially ruthless and brutal.

Pros

I really appreciate the opportunity to be paid for attending graduate school. Getting my master's here has both made me more marketable and confirmed my interest in the field I will be entering upon graduation.

Cons

Difficult working with a brand new faculty member, took a while to get experiments up and running. I imagine future students will benefit and the process will be smoother.
