Pros

The program allows students to balance work with classwork without having an ill effect on either. The staff is very friendly and always willing to provide opportunities for the student to succeed.

Cons

It is difficult for a lot of students to find these research opportunities. Usually a professor will guide you towards a project they are working on.

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

Great Benefits, Vacation, Sick Days, Personal Days

Cons

parking is normally far away from your building, and normally growth within your unit is difficult, so you have to tranfer to another to grow.
