Pros

The school has a gym that is free to employees. Human Resources has a great open door policy The school has a Weight Watchers group for employees as well as discounts on membership

Cons

You have to pay for parking The employees don't receive email notifications when to sign for payroll deductions for parking passes, you have to check their e-newsletter. If you miss the deadline you have to pay full price, which for one semester is about $180 and for the whole year $240-ish

Pros

The experience was great. The PI was amazing and kind and I learned a lot, definitely would do it again. It yielded great results for me such as publication. I recommend for medical school or graduate school.

Cons

Difficult to justify if you don’t plan to have a research career, graduate or professional school because the pay is lower than other positions available in Blacksburg.
