Supportive office, campus not so much

Graduate assistant

Business Outlook

Pros

Learned a lot, especially about how politics can affect what your office gets. The students are absolutely the highlight.

Cons

Salary is pretty much as low as they can get away with, honestly. There are plenty of better paying institutions out there.

Great place to work if you can avoid the politics.

Graduate assistant

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of opportunities for graduate students to work and pay for tuition at the same time. Graduate assistantships are challenging and provide a lot of good opportunities to network for someone hoping to make a career on a college campus.

Cons

There are a lot of politics involved with being a graduate assistant at Missouri State, especially if you find yourself working in the corporate office or one of the academic departments. People sometimes have a hard time minding their own business and the gossip chain can be unsettling.

Pros

I was a student worker at the Missouri State Bookstore & they have some amazing mangers running things like customer service, clothing, and the convenient stores. Awesome managers who understand how to lead. I would follow these mangers just about anywhere because they just understand how to motivate. It is a very relaxed atmosphere not very competitive. And saving the best for last, they work around class schedules!! Great college job.

Cons

Some managers are grumpy, sometimes hard to be around. A lot of student employees you don't to chat or meet any big dogs in the company/school.
