Pros

Tuition reimbursement Some great co-workers Great students Good programs

Cons

Poor and inconsistent leadership Accountability where it's not needed Insane amount of bureaucracy and red tape In reality, focused on tuition revenue more than student outcomes Awful pay for baseline employees Slow to fill leadership roles, we have so many interim positions it's absurd, positions have been vacant for up to 4 years Micromanagement Slow to react to negative media or don't react at all Incompetent HR (they're trying though) Limited scholarship opportunities

Pros

Those are really good opportunities for you to gain more experience on your resume while in school. Depending on who your supervisor is, you will get different projects and experience. It's not just strictly "lab research" like the name suggests. Also, beyond your job, you will learn a lot from your professor, aka supervisor, too. In my experience, I have worked with multiple professors, and they are all amazing people who understand you're still a student, are very flexible with your schedule, and always push for your success. Big pros: You get a tuition waiver depending on your job's tier (meaning how much work and how many hours per week you work, which is stated clearly on the website and by your supervisor). There's a stipend paid on top of that.

Cons

I haven't had any cons so far.

Pros

The only true "pro" to this career and this employer is the job security. As long as you do your job and do it well, it is likely that you'll remain employed here. If you get lucky, like I did, you'll work with a great immediate team of folks.

Cons

No upper movement. The company would much rather bring in outside hires rather than promote from within. Pay is on the lowest end of the USG for this role. Work/life balance is absolutely horrible.
