Pros

I loved the people I worked with and what I worked on. I was able to use my education and was able to expand on everything I learned. The work was hard at times but that's to be expected on a research farm. Benefits and time off cant be beat.

Cons

The pay was not worth the work. If it paid more I would have made a career out of it.

Pros

- easy work - Flexible timing and can work remotely

Cons

- 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.
