Pros

Strong sense of camaraderie among the coworkers, all of whom were talented graduate-level students enrolled at ODU. Rewarding work that had a positive impact on students. The director of the Writing Center was outstanding in her support for the tutors.

Cons

Not enough high-level support from the English Department, which is sadly common for university writing centers. We were always overbooked for appointments.

Pros

Great stepping stone and starting point for any career; environment conducive to growth! Team-oriented throughout all divisions. There are a lot of trainings, events, and meeting orchestrated for professional development, new ideas/strategies, and common purpose.

Cons

Because the university/company is in a growth mode, in some situations, issues or problems are solved on the fly. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it does highlight organization weaknesses.
