Pros

Lots of research opportunities to learn about managing a research study, working with the IRB and conducting data analysis; the Center I work with is very supportive of students getting involved in projects and is led well

Cons

Since I work part-time as a GRA, it takes discipline and effort to manage my time well and work on my own dissertation research at the same time.
