Roamer at West End Dining Hall

Pros

They offered an 'allowance' per shift that you could use to purchase food with (in addition to your pay). You could get anything at West End (within the allowance they gave you) and West End has some good food. They also paid higher than most part time jobs in the area

Cons

Being a Roamer was a pretty boring job and you typically worked alone until closer to closing. You're on your feet a lot. (I kept track of my walking one shift of a few hours and walked close to 6 miles - Although I probably could have taken more breaks, I just didn't feel comfortable sitting at a table for too long with everyone else being busy).

Pros

Great faculty in the animal science department. They work well with your schedule and they really want you to succeed. They are very interested in your research goals and teaching you what you want to know.

Cons

Pay is poor. If you're conducting research as an undergrad it is unpaid.
