Pros

The benefits of being able to have scientific knowledge constantly engrained in your head while also enjoying a small salary.

Cons

The compensation is not much, but still enough to cover the costs of textbooks for a semester.

Pros

Decent Benefits, Nice Amounts of Time off

Cons

Staff are the lowest of the totem pole and you KNOW it. Pay not enough to live by yourself as a working adult in State College Area. Will waste your time if there's nothing to do by requiring you to sit there while faculty and admin get to "work from home" (they really don't) President Benepudi will probably give herself 2 more $1.5 million pay increases while you work there unable to afford a simple apartment by yourself.
