Pros

1. You will get a paycheck 2. Nice student recreational center

Cons

1. Constantly hear 'that's the way we do things around here'. 2. Administrators don't walk the talk and strive for mediocrity. 3. Tremendous waste on campus with poor recycling and much water waste. 4. Lubbock is a stifling, ugly, conservative place full of conservative, religious folks 5. They want to be a Tier 1 research university, but they want faculty to teach like it's a 4 year school. 6. Small-minded attitudes prevail

Pros

It's great working with people, you're coworkers are in the same boat as you and its hard to pass up free housing and dining.

Cons

Student Housing could not care less about you are a student. Some RLCs (You're main boss) do care, but those above them want to squeeze you out of every ounce of energy you can while refusing to pay you a decent amount, or even letting work elsewhere to make up for the deficiency in income.
