Pros

There is a rather relaxed work environment, good for students with work study grants. The pay is low but so is the workload.

Cons

Can be rather boring at times. The other employees can be hit or miss, with some doing nothing so you end up having to do more than your share.

Pros

Love the students, benefits, and freedom that I have in my job to pursue things that I love best.

Cons

Pay could be a lot better. My current salary is a starting salary at most of the local universities. I have been here for 7 1/2 years.
