Pros

Helping students, my colleagues, doing my job in general. I enjoy the job.

Cons

Management avoids accountability. Things cannot be done without a workaround. They promise increased pay, but ignore you and make excuses when its time to act. The universities owed me several thousands of dollars for almost 2 years. All i get in return is how this person was sic, called out, new people hired, etc. This places is very poorly run. Lab equipment is very outdated, and promises of new hardware are never honored (even when i attended the school as a student). Lastly i do not like that we are not giving students what they pay for in terms of facilities, and a complete education. This place is pretty much a clown college when it comes to anything other than professional majors. We take in regular students, and spit out clowns with no skill & massive debt.

Pros

Opportunity to mentor and support students as they learn technical concepts. Flexible schedule that worked well alongside coursework. Developed communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills. Collaborated with faculty and other TAs in a supportive environment. Gained hands-on experience explaining complex topics to students with different learning styles. Rewarding to see students improve and succeed throughout the semester.

Cons

Workload can fluctuate significantly around assignment deadlines and exams. Balancing TA responsibilities with personal coursework can be challenging. Limited influence over course policies and curriculum decisions. Some tasks can be repetitive, such as grading or answering similar questions. Compensation may not always reflect the time commitment during busy periods. Communication between instructors, TAs, and students can occasionally be inconsistent.
