Pros

As a graduate student, working in the Art Library was one of my best job experiences. I had the opportunity to work on archival special projects, collection development, circulation and reference. Although the collection focus is art-related, we provided assistance to undergrads in other subject areas as well. It was a great work environment.

Cons

Many of the people I worked with are no longer there, hopefully the new staff are just as pleasant and supportive.

Pros

As a student, there is great flexibility, and you get to help other students. This leaves you with a "feel-good" attitude, most of the time. I've rarely had any negative encounters with customers, and full-time Rutgers employees in my departments have always been prepared to offer me solid and sound advice.

Cons

Can be difficult to make overall career advancement. Difficult to learn from your peers, as they are the same as you in many ways. For the lowest level positions as a student, the pay is appropriate, but as you accept more responsibility, compensation does not scale up as well.
