Pros

There is a large number of passionate and motivated people who want to make a difference by making student's lives and experience better. There are a large number of resources available to tab into to get things done.

Cons

Like a lot of large organizations, it can be a bureaucratic headache. There can be some unfairness across different departments where one supervisor might give more pay, better evaluations, more flexibility than another supervisor for the same or worse employees.

Pros

They were very flexible with hours and it was a fun place to work. There was lots of downtime to do other things while on the clock, and an e-bike to get around campus quickly.

Cons

Toward the end they got pretty strict about keeping your computer on a certain tab to take online tickets, and you could get in trouble for not doing it. It’s tedious work overall.
