Pros

Penn State is a large campus with great opportunities. If you work hard, the possibilities are endless.

Cons

Since the campus is very large, and therefore, departments are often large, it is easy to get lost in your own bubble. I view this as more of a pro since there are many opportunities for collaboration, but you need to be proactive about it.

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.

Pros

flexibility. I'm on a fellowship I won with a great advisor. It is not so good for others.

Cons

An inherently liminal position with severely reduced benefits.
