      Graduate Research is a great opportunity

      Pros

      Working for a university is a great experience as a whole, lots of cooperation and plenty of opportunities both academic and industrial. However, I cannot stress enough that your experience may differ depending on your department and who you work with.

      Cons

      The politics within the academic environment can be difficult to work with at times. Expectations may differ between management and supervisors which can make some experiences stressful at times.

      Great Part Time Work

      Pros

      Free food with ever shift. People are generally cool. Management gets that this is a part-time job and are typically pretty chill.

      Cons

      Sometimes management doesn't listen. They have a few fireable offenses including 6 unexcused absences. This is reasonable, but sometimes they will hire the person back the next week effectively giving them a clean slate with no change in work ethic. Regularly understaffed.

      Great Place to Live and Study

      Pros

      This is a quite small town (officially it is the largest town in Virginia) for living and studying. It is in the Appalachian mountains and good for outdoor exercise.

      Cons

      A little far away from big cities. The nearest big city is Washington, D.C., which is 5 hours away. The nearest airport is Roanoke–Blacksburg Regional Airport, which is 40 minutes away.
