Pros

I enjoyed being a graduate teaching instructor for the interpersonal communication class at USU so much. The students are kind and personable, and the course instructor, Dr. Amanda Lilly, leads the program extremely well. She is organized, experienced, kind, and very helpful.

Cons

The pay, sadly it doesn't pay to be a T.A. or GTI.
