Pros

Interacted with numerous amount of clientele on a regular basis, while being able to study for coursework and be paid (work-study). The supervisors are also great people

Cons

The work is pretty monotonous, and does not change much from day to day. However, the work is relatively easy

Pros

Excellent academic environment, plenty of jobs for students who need to make money for basic expenses, job availability within one's major department, and experience building

Cons

You can get sucked into having jobs that are just jobs and don't help with experience or one's career path. Don't take just any job, some of them are worthless for the student other than the money.
