      Pros

      Benefits, flex time, professional development.

      Cons

      Depending on department/head, office politics can be very bad. Unsurprisingly at a university, rankism is very common. Staff members are second rate citizens, even if they are highly qualified degree holders. Small town with little other meaningful employment options. Relies far too heavily on part time workers.

      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.
