Pros

-worked from home most of the time--only came in for meetings -very flexible hours -My boss and coworkers were very nice and easy to work with. -The job was just very fulfilling. It felt great to be contributing to academic research by ensuring quality software.

Cons

-The fact that it was a part-time job that paid minimum wage meant I was barely making enough money to afford gas and food. It was good for what it was--a student job.
