Pros

Students are great, on campus events are fun and educational, flexibility is a plus, benefits are great.

Cons

Pay is not the best, especially being located in Northern VA where rent is high, everything is expensive. It is nice to have high standards of living in that area but the pay does not match whatsoever.

Pros

When I worked there, almost complete autonomy was expected of the student teachers. I was impressed that they expected students to learn new software quickly, in order to create lesson plans to teach it. They paid for certifications in all the software the students taught, so it was a quick way to seriously improve your resume. Respectful and fun environment.

Cons

You have to deal with the usual slowness of working at a public university, such as learning the quirks of a finicky scanner, because there isn't budget to buy a new one.
