Pros

Great Student Worker environment. Supervisors are very nice and easy going people, at least for my department. I got a lot of free stuff like T-shirts during my time there.

Cons

Horrible HR, messed up my paperwork and took 3 months to resolve a payroll issue. Unstable hours, but it depends on the department.
