Pros

Probably the best two things I got out of my time at Penn State was the education I received and the people I met.

Cons

(This is my personal experience with PSU - please keep in mind that this is not true for all departments) The culture in my department was not very friendly to graduate students, especially those wanting to start a family. Many people in the department harassed graduate students emotionally, verbally and sometimes sexually with very little rebuke or acknowledgement from the department.

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.
