A great job to work while being a student at WPI

Research assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, make new connections with professors and staff, go at your own pace, an overall good experience and a great way to make ends meet while taking classes or during breaks.

Cons

Limited growth as an employee - especially if you're a student. It's a small community, and depending on what job you are working and in which department you are in, you may or may not get much exposure to connection opportunities.

Business Outlook

Pros

There are lot of great reasons to work at WPI. 1. The place is filled with very smart and interesting people. 2. You can sit in on classes with professor permission. I never had one deny me. 3. You can get financial breaks to get a BS or MS 4. Nice athletic facilities 5. Students are a joy. 6. Some of the best conversations I've had in a long time 7. You can participate in research and write papers 8. Pretty campus 9. Free seminars 10. Some time flexibility 11. Decent benefits

Cons

Pay is the the worse thing about working in any academic place. Salaries are about 3/4 what you would expect elsewhere. Since pay is often grant base, it can disappear.
