Pros

Everyone here is super kind and caring. Working as a student can be hard, but they make it easy. Hours are flexible and what not.

Cons

The pay is not the best, but its pretty much standard around campus.

Cons

Location Small college town—limited cultural life, hard to travel in/out (Indianapolis is ~1 hour away, Chicago ~2 hours).
