Pros

Managers respect your time and will build your schedule around your classes and preferences. Good amount of training to start the job, and assistance from full time staff is always available if needed. Options to work in-person or remote, can do homework or study while working as long as it does not impede your ability to assist callers or visitors at the help desk.

Cons

Pay lower than other part time jobs
