Pros

-convenience is number one, on campus where classes are -flexible work hours to fit around classes -many different jobs available to students on campus -can be hired full time for summer Working on campus as a student worker is what you make of it. I've gained many responsibilities and usable job skills by simply being willing to try, and to learn new things and accept new projects. There are many departments to work for as a student- recreation center, accounting, audit, IT, dining, etc. It's a good way to get job experience while in school, ideally in your area of study, while only having to drive to one place every day and having flexibility of working between classes.

Cons

-constant workplace politics (however, where doesn't have this problem) -lower pay -no benefits for "student workers" even when working full time

Pros

There are great student resources on campus, and UCR is generally a supportive environment. The surrounding community is growing and developing.

Cons

There is a fair amount of crime in the neighborhood near campus, and the pay is quite low - though comparable to other graduate student positions. Departments vary in how supportive they are of graduate students.
