      Pros

      Better money than any other campus job. Atmosphere with peers is a good one. Days go by fast.

      Cons

      Sky high turnover rate, and they want to keep it that way. More ways to get rid of you than keep you.

      Pros

      I was given a tremendous amount of autonomy and decision making opportunity. As a self-directed individual I enjoyed this freedom to pursue excellence without interference. I relied on my own commitment to intellectual standards and academic integrity. My direct supervisor was very professional and helpful, on those few occasions I was able to meet with him.

      Cons

      The pay, for the amount of time and effort required, is inadequate. I wish there had been an opportunity to interface with the regular, full time professors in the department. However, the biggest drawback for me was the rather sketchy quality of the students. I taught masters' level classes for 3 years. Student lack of ability to engage in critical thinking and their dismal writing skills were truly appalling. It often seemed I was working with college freshman, in a remedial class, rather than with graduate students. Most discouraging was the fact that, every semester, one or more students engaged in plagiarism. The students took great offense at being held accountable. Happily, the Dean did support me in dealing with these situations.

      Pros

      Great benefits and relaxed atmosphere. Experiences will vary depending on the department you work in. But overall it is a good place to learn basic accounting concepts without a stressful environment. Again, I stress that this can change depending on the department, but in my department it was a positive experience.

      Cons

      Depending on the department, some professors can be tough to work with. Some departments also have staff that can be difficult to work with as well. May also have to deal with some politics and brown-nosing as well but that can be experienced at almost any company on some level.
