Pros

Lots of flexibility and low demands.

Cons

GSU suffers from poor management and even poorer morale. Grand ideas for what the school could be are dreamt up, but no plans are developed to enact these ideas effectively. Administration can't lead the faculty, and the faculty won't lead themselves. The morale of GSU is one where people do not think beyond their own job description to consider the good of the university nor the good of the students. Overall, the students lose because of this.

Great environment. The staff is very encouraging and the students make it fun to come to work. Very hard working staff, faculty and administrators. Everyone is supportive of the work done by others.

Little room for advancement. Budget issues affect employee morale.

Pros

Easy job (if you know your subject matter). When students don't show up its a good time to do your own homework and get paid. Low stress levels, Other employees including your supervisors are laid back for the most part. You have access to help in subjects YOU might need help in.

Cons

Low pay, minimal hours, and a tendency for the bosses to try to use you for subjects you don't know anything about (EG: tried using me to tutor finance when I was in the Intro level classes myself).
