Pros

Strong compensation, excellent co workers. Clear objectives to achieve each month. I enjoyed it and it was fun.

Cons

Management was incapable, rules were entirely arbitrary. Many existed for no reason other than their existence. I emphasize that management is entirely incapable.

Business Outlook

Pros

The work was extremely easy and straight forward. I enjoyed the people I worked with. Felt more connected to school

Cons

Managers were sometimes inflexible with hours which was ridiculous considering almost all employees are students and classes are our number one priority, not a minimum wage job. Unaviodable 2am - 4am shifts on week nights

Business Outlook

Pros

Laid back environment yields reasonably happy workers. Decent graduate school stipend for a cheap US city. Okay cafeteria but far too expensive for its value.

Cons

Previously mentioned laid back environment breeds inefficient dealings with staff for any errors in either payment or reimbursement or even filing of paperwork.
