Pros

Supervisors are all amazing, supportive, and flexible. I was always clear up front about what dates I would need off, and they only scheduled me for 5 hours during finals week. I did NOT do homework during work hours, there were always things I could do instead. Fellow student employees were really fun.

Cons

Messiah admin are only concerned about image and donor opinions. Not a good place to work if you're LGBTQ. Your supervisors will be supportive, students are a mixed bag, admin will tell you to keep it secret or resign.
