Pros

Many perks depending on the program you work with. Some of the pros included flex schedule, working from home as long as the 40 hrs were completed.

Cons

Limited professional growth. The possibility of growing was limited to few people. Compensation was extremely low for the amount of responsibility.

Pros

Probably one of the better GTA jobs on campus, in terms of pay. If you like teaching, you certainly will get to do that. Some of the courses give you a lot of leeway in terms of how you present material, which is another GTA rarity. At its best, this assistantship can be really rewarding. At its worst...

Cons

Too much teaching load, some poor course organization, course reputations mean you may have lost the battle before you meet students. The course materials seem all over the place sometimes, and different people seem to have different ideas about why the courses exist and what should be taught.

Pros

Virginia Tech allows you to choose your own hours, which makes it easy to work around my busy schedule. Having the ability to choose my own hours allows me to dictate when I work, how often I work, and therefore how much money I make per week.

Cons

Some of the students that I tutor do not share the same work ethic that I do, which makes tutoring difficult. Due to some of my students' scant work ethic, It often seems like I am helping them pass their classes rather than helping them get A's.
