Pros

Overall, good leadership experience. The compensation is really great, especially compared to any other job you can get on campus. There are good opportunities to advance as a returning RA or SRA.

Cons

For me, the toughest part was taking on the "RA personality" that Student Housing expects. I felt a bit like I had to hide parts of who I was to avoid attracting negative attention due to their intense love of "diversity".
