Pros

University environment is nice to work in, but nothing to innovative in administrative IT. Working in research labs or areas is better than IT, but also is not that secure if that's what you are looking for.

Cons

Pay is very low as the university is constantly squeezing the budget.

Pros

They were very flexible with hours and it was a fun place to work. There was lots of downtime to do other things while on the clock, and an e-bike to get around campus quickly.

Cons

Toward the end they got pretty strict about keeping your computer on a certain tab to take online tickets, and you could get in trouble for not doing it. It’s tedious work overall.

Pros

flexibility. I'm on a fellowship I won with a great advisor. It is not so good for others.

Cons

An inherently liminal position with severely reduced benefits.
