Pros

It's a fairly large organization, so it's easy to find people with similar interests and knowledge base to discuss and resolve problems. It's a great place to learn new skills and diversify, however sometimes it does not match with the current industry trends.

Cons

As a state institution everything has to go out to bid, so our own expertise is never utilized when making decisions or implementing solutions within the organization.

Pros

- Free Housing - Meal Plan - One of the better on campus job for students in my opinion (still able to be involved in other activities as a student on campus)

Cons

- Duty part of the job (Being on call and getting late night lock outs but this is rare), and definitely can still do homework in between doing duty rounds - experience can also depend on your hall director / area (but regardless still served on great RA teams, can be great if you have a co-ra but also been good at time being a single RA on the floor (no need to coordinate schedule if you do events together as a single RA unless you alternate events with your co)
