Pros

Academia is a more relaxed atmosphere than a for profit business. Most of the people I work with are very kind. And the summers are amazingly quiet.

Cons

The pay is very low. My position was just created and the base pay is $50k. However, the raises here only come if you leave your position and move to a different division within the university. It is commonly said that if you want a raise or a promotion you have to go somewhere else.

Pros

Very student friendly position. Great for students looking to meet people across majors, learn some basic computer and customer service skills, and work on homework while on the job.

Cons

Management can be difficult to work with. Navigating relationships with management is the biggest hurdle to success in this role, as leadership does not work to maintain relationships with staff and forms opinions based on arbitrary criteria often against a made up reality.
