Pros

Working off campus in downtown. Very flexible hours and enjoyable experience working with coworkers. Leadership was helpful and responsive to any problems that arose. Independent work and no one over your shoulder all the time.

Cons

No cons at all. Only the clients/coworkers needing repeated help.
