Great pay with excellent work-life balance - Teaching Assistant NYU (New York University) Employee Review

The pay is competitive for a graduate assistant position, and my supervisor has been genuinely supportive and easy to work with throughout my time here.

Hours can vary a bit — around 10 to 20 hours per week depending on the time of year. During the summer it stays under 20 hours, while during the semester it's usually under 10 hours since we have two graduate assistants splitting the workload. Not really a downside, just something to be aware of when planning around classes.

Good benefits, friendly office, easy work, good pay. Worked FT in the summer.

Grad Assistant / advisors were required to do drop-in advising hours. Which is fine except we didn't have access to a lot, so we couldn't help students half the time. Because of the union you could only work 20 hours / week. Which honestly sucked because the work was easy and I would've loved to pick up a few more hours.
