Pros

Convenient to public transportation on both the subway and bus. Good benefits and salary.

Cons

My cons are directly related to the department I used to work in and not the institution itself. My position in the department was terminated without advance notice and I was not offered a transfer to another position on campus. Other colleges and universities in the Boston area attempt to reassign soon to be displaced staff. I believe the senior manager in my department did not follow human resource recommendations or protocol in my case.

Pros

Large research university with an outstanding programming languages research department.

Cons

While the work as an undergraduate tutor is interesting, and helps you learn the material better, the grading assignments come irregularly in large clumps. You'll have no work one week, and then an unusually large amount of work the next.
