Pros

You can set your own hours, very flexible. You are able to work on school work if you are not busy.

Cons

They give you a stipend every month, which is great, but it can be pretty tough to make the amount last over the entire month.

Business Outlook

Pros

MSU had provided such a great opportunity to graduates with an interest in working in the university setting. Being a GA brings opportunities for a diverse work experience and additional study. Management, at least within my departments, has been exemplary and helpful throughout this process.

Cons

As great as the university is, the city (Springfield, MO) might lack a good deal of essential amenities for those accustomed to living in larger cities.

Business Outlook

Pros

Missouri State University is a great employer, they had great benefits and the 2nd shift was a great shift to work. The student workers were pleasant and hard working and the Director of User Support was also a great boss and the teachers were for the most part quick to learn the technology

Cons

Working projects while supporting teachers was a tighter fit for fitting into the standard work week and there was not always a even distribution of tickets across the shifts (but this is not due to the managers but other shift workers).
