Pros
The experience is great. You learn a lot, plus get access to MSU job postings before non-employees do. You get to educate schoolchildren about scientific topics.
Cons
Other than it being a fun job through MSU, it's not that good of a job. Pay is EXTREMELY low. Requires a college degree, but only pays 15-16/hour (for reference, Aldi's in the area starts at $16/hour. I cannot stress enough how low $15-$16/hour is for Novi.) Job averages at about 20-29 hours per week. At $15-$16 per hour, that's $1200-$1856 per month (pre-tax). Average cost of rent in Novi is $1200-$1500/month. A company that won't even pay for its employees to live in the surrounding area is scummy. I don't care how good of a learning opportunity it is; it's scummy and exploitative. MSU can do better. I know they can do better.
