Pros

Benefits. Days off (24 vacation, 12 holiday, 12 sick) 401K Health Vision

Cons

I worked in an office where my position was new. The manager had no idea what to do with me and simply left me floundering only hiring a supervisor after I had been in the position for three years.

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.
