      Pros

      -good for extra money for a college student cause they work around your schedule -some of the people are really nice and that will be the only thing that keeps you going back

      Cons

      -if your actually sick you still get in trouble with out a doctors note -management wants you to pull of miracles with almost no people and most of them are not willing to help you out

      Only expect a raise or promotion if someone leaves or you have another offer on the table.

      Pros

      Great School to be around. Great potential for personal development with the University. Great people to work with in terms of personality (not skills)

      Cons

      Most people in the department are old, and using brand new computers with a 1992 mentality. ("You mean I need to turn on the printer before I click Print?!"). Management gets comfortable with you working in your current position (Blames it on State Budget). Yet when you present an external job offer, they eventually match it.

      Pros

      Good research environment Good career opportunities Nice office in the city Research on the fields of power system, renewable energy, bio bioinformatic etc. are conducted in Virginia Tech Research Center (VTRC) situated in Arlington.

      Cons

      Demanding course works Expensive housing for Arlington research center The most acute downside is the lack of sufficient courses. In the norther Virginia campus the number of offered courses are very limited compared to main campus in Blacksburg.
