Pros

Good hours, could work around class schedule. Often this computer lab was dead in the evening so you could do homework etc.

Cons

low pay. It's expected but after 2 years with countless hours, no increase of pay due to experience.

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
