      Pros

      Working at Purdue for over 6 years as a graduate research assistant. Personally, my experience has been rewarding thanks to my adviser.

      Cons

      Location is isolated leaving very little to do come downtime. The weather is not very helpful as well. Snows close to 6 months in a year and summers can get harsh as well.

      Pros

      It was a great opportunity to learn and develop leadership, and communication skill. It helped to improve my organizing skill and will be a great experience in my future career in academia.

      Cons

      It was overwhelming at times. Literally had to do everything for the class, eg. teaching, making quizzes, exams, grading although it is a teaching assistant position.

      Pros

      I was employed both by the English Language Program and the Communication Department, and I loved the professionalism and friendly atmosphere of both of these environments. I was constantly challenged, I always had new, exciting responsibilities, and there were plenty of opportunities for growth, but i never felt overworked or taken advantage of. The atmosphere was very professional, yet friendly. And with many different systems in place, it was a well organized workplace. This campus really values cultural diversity.

      Cons

      Unfortunately there has been a shift lately towards more business oriented practices.
