Pros

The University is great at providing ample opportunities for research to coincide with work. They value time and effort and are willing to be flexible for tests and assignments.

Cons

It is a little difficult to get intot the programs offered. Typically, you have to know somebody. There aren't too many promotions available for students, either.

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.
