      Very little recognition for your efforts

      Pros

      The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning offers great workshops and resources to help you become a better instructor and teaching assistant. Professors will generally be understanding of your schedule.

      Cons

      There will be almost no recognition of your ability or your efforts as an instructor. You will work shoulder to shoulder with people who do not care a lick about teaching and you will be paid the same no matter your ability or results.

      A good job for a year

      Pros

      Overall, good leadership experience. The compensation is really great, especially compared to any other job you can get on campus. There are good opportunities to advance as a returning RA or SRA.

      Cons

      For me, the toughest part was taking on the "RA personality" that Student Housing expects. I felt a bit like I had to hide parts of who I was to avoid attracting negative attention due to their intense love of "diversity".

      Pros

      The University of California at Davis provides an atmosphere of excellence. Some of the best and the brightest minds work here.

      Cons

      Davis is a smaller town, so it may not provide access to all of the amenities that larger cities can provide.
