Pros

If you live on campus, it's great. It's close to your dorm room and the pay isn't that bad. If you want to do minimal work, train to be a cashier.

Cons

The process for becoming a student supervisor is terrible. Actually, there is no process. You have to suck up to the existing student supervisors and party with them. If you have a different friend group and don't want to associate with them, then good luck. The manager (a non-student who runs everything) is practically controlled by these students. The people who'd actually be good supervisors and actually do their work are unnoticed, because they aren't chatting with the existing student supervisors. I had to train student supervisors on how to do their job every day I worked. I often had to take on the role of supervisor because they had no idea what to do.
