Pros

I have worked at Georgia Tech as a Research Assistant for several years during my doctoral program. The pay is competitive, compared to what doctoral students get at other universities in my discipline. HR has improved dramatically since I joined. The gym is fantastic. The school has done a great of job of letting me, along with my adviser, determine my focus. It seems that most students can arrange this: everyone I know here is getting paid for the dissertation work.

Cons

Living close to campus can be a pain. Most of the areas are either fabulously expensive or cheap but crime-ridden. I would recommend using the Marta train, which stops close to campus. They require health insurance for students, and force some crappy policy on you if you don't prove that you are already covered.

Pros

GT housing provides a nice, well kept living environment that is thoroughly maintained to ensure that housing is the least of the worries for the students at Georgia Tech. The compensation for a Resident Adviser has improved significantly over the previous years bringing the RA job on par with other RA's at other campuses. The life of an RA at GT is easier than other campuses because of the docile nature of a GT student - rarely will you find a fight occurring in the residents halls. Being a GT housing employee allows you to help students while paying for college.

Cons

Since GT housing is there to provide a service to the students of GT, people who work there must work around the students schedule which is not the same as a regular business' schedule. This means (for a student worker) getting to the campus early before school starts and leaving after most have left for summer break. The student will have to do a lot of paper work which causes undo stress early in the semester and can hamper grades. The consistency of the boss for a building is also variable in personality and work ethic. This will have an impact on the student's job.

Pros

Georgia Tech has a well-deserved reputation for being a great school. Working around the best and brightest students is a treat. The energy and diversity on campus are wonderful.

Cons

Surprisingly, GT has poor technology for staff members. Many silos on campus keep people apart, and prevent good communications. Professors have a well-defines career path, but no one else at GT does - the professional development classes are a mixed bag: some are good, but some are outdated and not a good use of time. The benefits package is complex and difficult to understand. It was difficult to get anyone in HR to answer questions - they usually refer questions to a website.
