      Pros

      It's good to be able to work at a university with these resources, but getting the resources is very slow and difficult.

      Cons

      Harvard University is a very slow moving university. In order to get work done, you really need to work with your department and keep pressing for paperwork to go through.

      Pros

      I worked as a grader for a class at Harvard Extension School. The pro's are good pay, flexible hours, and grading is pretty easy.

      Cons

      Grading the exams required being present during them and then meeting up afterward to grade them. It is sometimes hard to coordinate with other graders' schedules.
