      Pros

      You get paid to go to school. It's in NYC, which is awesome. The name will get you places. High-preforming colleagues.

      Cons

      You're a grad student so you have no life. No one appreciates you. The hours/week sometimes end up in excess of 70 hours. Giving a professor complete control of your life is not a very good life decision.

      Pros

      The work when I had it was amazing, I really appreciated it for what it gave me.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, with the change in management came zero transparency and rules for thee, not for me. It's led to really weird decisions.
