Pros

Very flexible hours, most professors are very open to working around your schedule, you get a fair amount of students that want to learn the material. Also, great opportunity to brush up on skills you may have lost since your intro-level courses.

Cons

As with all universities, there are those students who don't try to learn and expect you to give them all the answers. Some miscommunications with professors aren't unheard of.

Pros

Like the work I do and the people I work with. Activity fluctuates along the typical school calendar with the summer being slower.

Cons

You are expected to jump into change without asking questions. Even when a reason/justification on why or how you are doing something is met with a tone of "I don't care, Do what I said". Direct supervisor and colleagues are great and have your back. Many staff positions don't have a way to move up the career ladder.
