Pros

As a student, it is convenient to have a job located at your school. The pay is not bad, I make $10/thour for screening movies. But it's only a 3 hour job, sometimes the movie won't last that long, so I'll make $10 or $20 per week.

Cons

The people in charge of payroll are not always on top of their work and don't always answer your e-mails in an appropriate time manner. It is also difficult to land a job at school. Most of the jobs on campus are work-study only, and when you're "too rich for work study" that does affect your chances at landing a job. Even when you have work-study, the competition is fierce. I applied to several jobs my freshman year of college only to get rejected due to lack of experience, the same situation applied throughout the next three years. How was I to land a job, when no one wanted to give me a chance. Eventually, I did manage to get a job, one that did not require an interview. One of my professors needed someone to be a projectionist for his class, so I asked for the job and got it.

Pros

Fantastic people, great place to work. Everyone is usually helpful in working together and communicating.

Cons

Multi-tasking and wearing "many hats" necessary. Promotional opportunities limited with a preference on brown-nosing. Transparent communication from leadership and management needs improvement.

Pros

Excellent people work here. Many resources for personal growth and development as well as opportunities. The school really demonstrates the Tartan Soul values in each of the departments. Everyone is approachable and knowledgeable. I am quite satisfied with the time I've spent here.

Cons

Communication could be better between departments/ business units. Training can be boring and long. There are very few cons. Minute/ trivial problems at worst.
