      Pros

      The environment is nice and friendly, the professors are available almost all the time and ready to help. It gives access to many data resources.

      Cons

      The salary is not so good, enough to live in State College, but not more. You have to work 12 hours a day to satisfy all the requirements and do all the homework they ask from you.

      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.
