Business outlook
Pros
Other teaching assistants and instructors are very friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive. Most students are very respectful and engaged with the courses. Usually lots of flexibility given in how office hours and discussion sections are operated.
Cons
Hiring paperwork was given with only a weekend to complete, and hiring staff unreachable during this time. Late pay issues, too. Students have become increasingly antisemitic, even to TAs and instructors. Political activity of the union also gets in the way of work unnecessarily often (see the Spring 2024 strike over Israel/Palestine conflict). Women and people of color are generally underrepresented, more so in some STEM departments.
