Pros

The job is great about flexible scheduling. You schedule your regular hours per week online at the beginning of the semester, but are able to modify it online without involving the managers if someone else subs your shift.

Cons

Very little initial training (just one weekend) before you are thrust into the job. Much of it is learn-as-you-go, which can be fine for some and very difficult for others.

Pros

Decent Benefits, Nice Amounts of Time off

Cons

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.
