Pros

Opportunities to grow in trending tech fields, great benefits, a consistent 9-5 schedule, opportunities for college-tuition assistance.

Cons

A lack of resources and budget. I was hired on for communications but ended up split time doing web development (something I had no formal training in) that consumed a substantial amount of time. I was given the same promise and recommendation for a promotion - the only way to earn a salary change - every quarter for 3 years in a row. Finally, I called a meeting with HR during which HR did not properly review my file, and upon discussion said a VERY sexist remark, and said that no promises are ever made for promotions. I submitted my two weeks later that week. Watch out for this boys club masquerading as a progressive institution.

Pros

- Free Housing - Meal Plan - One of the better on campus job for students in my opinion (still able to be involved in other activities as a student on campus)

Cons

- Duty part of the job (Being on call and getting late night lock outs but this is rare), and definitely can still do homework in between doing duty rounds - experience can also depend on your hall director / area (but regardless still served on great RA teams, can be great if you have a co-ra but also been good at time being a single RA on the floor (no need to coordinate schedule if you do events together as a single RA unless you alternate events with your co)
