Pros

Serving as a teaching assistant was an excellent experience, serving as affirmation of concepts learned as an undergraduate student. I liked how the teaching assistant duties did not seem to get in the way of my graduate research and my course work.

Cons

Very few complaints here. Graduate school is a personal investment in your future. You have to be prepared for the commitment and sacrifices.

Pros

I had a job and could read my books/draw during down time.

Cons

Horrible management. Incredibly aloof staff that does not take POC employees seriously. Also, multitude of microaggressions and straight up racism, Plain attempts of treating their staff without compassion and also putting their staff and students in harm's way during FSU's 2025 school shooting. Staff was told to keep working during an active shooting and even after people had been pronounced dead. This is not simply a testing center issue but a systematic concern of FSU's departments. Pay is also mediocre and only went up recently because of consistent complaints from the employees--not because they wanted to. Plenty of inappropriate behaviors were present while I was working there from upper management. Fawning, favoritism, power trips, blurring boundaries, etc. Parking is awful.
