Pros

Prestigious university, the employees are friendly, the commute is easy to Evanston, the location in Evanston is good, benefits are good

Cons

If you drive, parking can be challenging; Little diversity in responsibilities, felt like everyone's responsibilities were too specific, so there was little room to learn

i did it for my work study. The advisor is nice and easy to work with. The pay is fair

Cons

Cold in winter. No benefits as a student. It's kinda hard if you live campus and do not have a car.

Pros

Lovely campus on the lake. It's a stimulating academic environment. There are lots of learning and development opportunities.

Cons

I work with grants, and the beauracracy seems a bit much at times....it may be the same at other research universities; this is my first experience.
