A solid employer where your success is primarily linked to your own self discipline.

Research scientist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very supportive community. Generally a good environment to work where a strong work ethic is valued. You don't need to "be seen" putting in long hours in the office per se. Instead it is more important that you produce high quality work in a timely fashion. This allows for a certain degree of flexibility that allows one to benefit from their own self discipline.

Cons

Must stay self motivated as there isn't someone there to pay you on your back after every big achievement. Also, money comes and goes with the state budget. Some years can be tight and some plentiful.

Undraduate students get paid average

Undergraduate assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

GT allows undergraduate students to work, you can be a TA, and the first semester you will get credit but the other semesters you'll be paid between 8 - 10 dollars per hour working. It's ok work, not that impressive really. You have to submit a weekly timesheet.

Cons

If you are an undergraduate researcher you only get paid about $8 - $10 hour.
