      Business Outlook

      Pros

      An environment conducive to learning and growth; very, very reasonable bosses/ folks in the department; lots of diversity

      Long hours for adjuncts and TA's (what with course planning and all); but that's standard everywhere

      Student Position for University Information

      Information assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This is a great job for students. It is on campus and works around your class schedule. You will be working the phones so it gives you great office skills that can translate to any future job.

      Cons

      Can be hard to get days off.

      Not good if you're a science graduate student

      Graduate research assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The academics at the university are wonderful. Research is in interesting and relevant areas of science. Advisors can either be great help, or not much at all. Work-life balance is as good or bad as you choose to make it.

      Cons

      Pay is awful. Do not expect to work as graduate teaching assistant or graduate research assistant and expect to live comfortable unless living with 3+ people. Administration is horrendous and does not care about graduate student concerns. Collaboration between researchers is mostly non existent, which I believe is missed opportunity. Amount of work required is insane for the pay if you are a teaching assistant. If you are a research assistant, work tends to be more tame. Expect to feel underappreciated.
