Pros

There are many good people working at PUC: they're smart, upbeat, and enthusiastic, with lots of energy. Many students are first-generation college students and are people trying to change the trajectory of their and their families' lives. Because of this, there's tremendous opportunity to help people and to make a difference in their lives.

Cons

Unfortunately, the school suffers from severe morale problems. There have been massive cutbacks and cutting of resources, to the point that they have all but stopped doing basic things like collecting garbage from offices and classrooms. Many teaching positions have been axed (as well, many people have fled to other institutions or taken early retirement) as management and administration continues to balloon in size. Expectations, evaluation, and promotion decisions are massively uneven and have little to do with merit.

Pros

The work is very easy. I just have to show up to lab once a week and help students with questions. It's enjoyable if you like to watch students learn. Getting to talk to graduate TAs is also fun.

Cons

I was only given about five hours per week to work. You can find a better-paying job elsewhere. The labs are sometimes a nightmare since graduate TAs create them, but they are rarely tested to see how long a freshman might take to complete them.
