Graduate Research Assistant - Anonymous employee Penn State Employee Review

Flexible for students, reasonable wage for most roles

Some student positions have minimum shift times

Decent Benefits, Nice Amounts of Time off

Staff are the lowest of the totem pole and you KNOW it. Pay not enough to live by yourself as a working adult in State College Area. Will waste your time if there's nothing to do by requiring you to sit there while faculty and admin get to "work from home" (they really don't) President Benepudi will probably give herself 2 more $1.5 million pay increases while you work there unable to afford a simple apartment by yourself.
