Pros

Michigan State, for me especially as a student, is so convenient. They work around my class schedule and make sure I am given the amount of hours I requested. There's endless opportunities here at MSU for career advancement. There's also a lot of room for growth to move up into a full time position.

Cons

The only con I would have to say about working at MSU is the low pay. Most student employees are only paid minimum wage with a tiny raise after each year you work.

Pros

Good stipend, hours were not bad, diversity of work, respect from my peers and professors. East Lansing is a great place to live. Diverse graduate student base will expose you to new cultures and gives you a great international perspective.

Cons

Needed better career counseling for people interested in pursuing academic careers. I left after my Graduate degree because Ph.D. path and subsequent careers were unclear.
