Pros

It was a nice experience and I enjoyed all of the people. I also got good compensation and the job engaged my mind. overall I was able to come out of it with good practical experience.

Cons

I did not get as many hours as I would have liked but it was a temporary position so It should have been expected.

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.
