Pros

Good working environment Interesting work Exposure to students from all over the world

Cons

Although they are an institution of higher learning, they do little to help, develop or promote their employees. I was a dedicated employee, yet never got a performance review, never an hourly increase (not even cost-of-living) and even with many inquiries into full-time positions, they kept my with less that 20 hours per week.

Pros

- Respectful student workers and office staff - Easy to find your way around campus - PT time hours allows flexibility to attend interviews

Cons

- Lousy single-digit hourly pay with no regard to previous experience. - Not challenging enough for experienced staff. You'll finish work early & have hours of trying to find something to do until the end of the work day. - It will take a month to get your first paycheck. (Think twice about accepting a PT offer if you don't live within a few blocks of the campus) - Gossip, gossip, gossip
