Pros

On campus with my classes and extracurriculars, flexible scheduling, low stress position

Cons

Work is dependent on participants as this was for a research study, so if there are no scheduled visits, there is no work and thus, no payment.

Pros

My supervisor was fantastic: provided good feedback, flexibility in work schedule, opportunities for professional growth.

Cons

Usually 1-2 year contract, determined by grant funding and availability Workplace experience is more dependent on the individual researcher/research lab you end up working for than the university as a whole
