Pros

Some of the best reasons to work at Georgia Tech as a Research Assistant include the flexibility of the faculty in meeting deadlines and the near-infinite amount of resources (knowledge-base) available to get work done.

Cons

The major negative in being a Graduate Research Assistant is that faculty members are often busy, and have very little time to tend to the needs of their students.
