Pros

It was a lot of great experience and really helped boost my resume. The professors are usually pretty good at helping you with research and helping you with requirements you have to fulfill for classes or research. Scheduling was flexible, which was great since I was working around classes.

Cons

Get used to a lot of repetitive tasks, the pay isn't good and you will definitely have to work hard to be considered for an actual research project.

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.
