Pros

Good benefits, always something going on, free tuition for full time employees, get to meet a lot of people (students, faculty, other staff).

Cons

Low pay, pay for parking, incompetent management that cannot be fired because of state law protection, lack of flex work option in certain departments, stuck in their old ways, lots of turn over so people don't know what they're doing, state budget cuts means no raises for 2 years, how are people expected to thrive in Fairfax VA if they can barely afford a mortgage or start a family?

Pros

The position was overall good and they were generally considerate of the school/work balance. The other RAs are great and I made some of my best friends while working there. Furthermore RAing was wonderful for the resume because it was strong leadership experience.

Cons

If you have a bad RD they can ruin your experience. There isn't really much you can do about this, so cross your fingers.
