Pros

Varied work, interesting coworkers, great students

Cons

Wage employees are regularly minimized and mistreated financially. Tech depends on a base of wage employees who often work 30 hours/week. The cap exists so they receive almost full time work from us without having to pay benefits, an appropriate salary, give us access to wifi, or even a parking payment system. The result is that you feel very less-than and have to find other work to make up for the lost income and benefits.

- easy work - Flexible timing and can work remotely

- Assigned a deadline of 2 weeks to grade about 72 or 144 assignments. Should have proper time management skills while managing the academics. Although it is easy work.

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.
