Good benefits and opportunities - Graduate Teaching Associate The Ohio State University Employee Review

Pros

Tuition payment, flexible hours, opportunity to network and do research. Helping students is gratifying and feeling appreciated really contributes to job satisfaction. Schedules are extremely flexible as long as 20 hours is worked within the week.

Cons

The monthly stipend sounds like a lot but really is too low to sustain a reasonable lifestyle for a graduate student. Getting paid monthly is hard on keeping a budget. Sometimes there is not enough work to be completed, and during other quarters the work is overwhelming when teaching a class while also taking classes yourself. Human resources and other supportive job services a lot of times are incompetent.

Pros

Many resources available for various types of studies

Cons

Unless your PI is tapped into the research community, the resources are spread out and difficult to find. The overall support from the University to PIs is limited. Those individuals in positions of authority are more concerned with their own optics than with supporting those who need it.
