Work Study

Pros

Lots of options for students looking to fill work study allotments. My bosses were always very flexible in terms of scheduling (since you are, after all, a student first). I like all my coworkers and remain close friends with many even after they leave.

Cons

Ultipro is strange. You work locally and tend not to have much communication with other departments which means you often don't understand each other. Depending on your position, there might not be a whole lot of professional development happening.

Pros

(Worked at Dean of Students) Really nice people to work with. Also flexible hours, and you get to learn how to work independently.

Cons

Sometimes you have to answer the phone! Sometimes the tasks are tedious or you have to do repetitive things like stuff envelopes, but this isn't common

Pros

I loved most of the people I worked with, very cordial yet mostly respectful atmosphere. Benefits such as health care, dental, vision, retirement plans were superb. There was some opportunity for professional development as well as tuition reimbursement, great educational plan for dependents.

Cons

Office politics are a serious issue and sometimes interferes with professional dealings. Hiring is usually based on graduating from Scripps or one of the Claremont Colleges and will almost guarantee you a position (even with no experience). Favoritism is also an issue, maintaining the status quo is upheld here when there are certain things that really do need to change for a better educational institution. The ability for promotions is limited.
