Pros

Solo dorm/Apartment, great co-workers, good compensation.

Cons

Your experience really depends on what neighborhood you get placed in. Some rooms are much nicer than others and some hall directors are better than others. It does get a bit stressful with overnight on call shifts.It can be difficult to balance it with classes but it was worth it to me.

Pros

Great benefits! Lots of sick time holidays off. and summers are very laid back. Wish I could have stayed longer as I saw my time there as a great career opportunity. But toxicity, harassment and layoffs made me rethink staying

Cons

Management is incredibly toxic. Even after union grievances, sexual harassment claims and even a warning from the dean, managers continue to abuse staff. Incredibly sad seeing as Boston University rather lay off good employees than hold anyone from management accountable for their actions.
