Pros

Not a lot of physical labor and you get to meet people in different professional fields. My manager was a lovely person but we worked for a disorganized, bureaucratic institution that doesn't value employees at all.

Cons

We were trained to proctor exams but also watch patdowns to make sure test takers wouldn't cheat. I felt more like a TSA agent than an administrator. There were only two people in the entire office and did the work of at least 4, with no extra pay and being signed on for more hours than we signed up for.

The job was easy and flexible.

Cons

The job was boring since you had to watch the testers, and not be on your phone.

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

Cons

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
