Pros

Active community, lots of interesting and exciting events, intellectually stimulating, very friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Cons

Part-time faculty teach many of the university's intro courses, so they represent a big chunk of first year students' gateway experiences at the University. But because these hard working individuals get no benefits, security, or perks, they have little or no interest in contributing much if anything to the development of student life or educational growth at the institution. Because most have to maintain other jobs to survive, they want to get in, teach, and get out. Students suffer for that.

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.
