      It was hard work, but it was a rewarding summer job that I would definitely do again.

      Pros

      Great compensation, good people to work with, and a friendly environment. This was an outdoors job over the summer that provided me with different tasks each day, so the job never became boring. In addition, I was able to learn how to operate machinery like tractors, chainsaws, and forklifts, and I doubt that I would have learned these on my own outside of the job. It is pretty relaxed as far as taking breaks go, since it does get extremely hot in the summer.

      Cons

      It was definitely hard work. 8-5 every day of manual labor outside, and there is a lot to learn for those like myself who are not experienced in using heavy machinery (tractors, chainsaws, etc...)

      Pros

      Friendly but professional environment. Opportunity to work with diverse group of people. Can work on many different project, as well as focused on a single topic depending on personal interest.

      Cons

      Sometimes due to bureaucracy, it can take some time to get the work done. However, this is expected for any other academic institutions compared to industry.
