Pros

* Your office is located in a destination retail center in Lakeway * You get a discount in that destination retail center full of juicy couture clad stay at home moms and their children and you will be 30 minutes from downtown Austin * You will get a benefits package * You will be surrounded by so many young people who also loathe their jobs as much as you or more * You will get a paycheck and be able to say you have a job

Cons

* You will be working for the antithesis of an Austin-based company in culture, location, complete lack of sustainability/green practices and work environment * You will experience that other companies and universities say that you are working for the devil, and you will begin to believe them when you see that it could be true * Your office will be a cubicle and your manager will expect you to be at said desk more than 50 hours a week * Your pay will be so low as to not be commensurate with other jobs in Austin

Pros

pretty simple day to day tasks. i got lucky and had amazing managers and co workers so once required tasks were completed we were able to work on school work or just hang out

Cons

residents and parents can be a lot to deal with and you need to be able to handle conflict. be prepared to be the buffer between them and management and learn what problems you can solve without needing managers.
