      Pros

      Paid my tuition for my PhD. Only 20 hours/week so plenty of time to pursuit the PhD. Paid 80% of health insurance cost. It was a very good plan.

      Cons

      The salary is low. It will be enough for a single person but you wont save any money.

      Pros

      Decent Benefits, Nice Amounts of Time off

      Cons

      Staff are the lowest of the totem pole and you KNOW it. Pay not enough to live by yourself as a working adult in State College Area. Will waste your time if there's nothing to do by requiring you to sit there while faculty and admin get to "work from home" (they really don't) President Benepudi will probably give herself 2 more $1.5 million pay increases while you work there unable to afford a simple apartment by yourself.
