Business Outlook

Pros

Office staff is friendly, professional, and laid back (whenever opportune), you will get the opportunity to interact with a wide variety of people and students from different backgrounds and majors. They are extremely flexible with your schedule as long as you put in your 15 hours/ 4 school days per week AND you complete all tasks within the deadlines issued. You will be given the opportunity to learn about various International Study Abroad trips and countries while you're doing your work.

Cons

School has them located in a small single family house converted into office. School sets guidelines on what they can pay their student assistants. All the student assistants are segmented between 3 floors and it takes a bit of effort to meet and interact with your peers.
