Pros

Can be flexible if you work with the right department.

Cons

Pick and choose your departments carefully. Be sure to research your managers/directors reputations on campus before accepting any positions. Must be prepared to take control of your own career trajectory. There is no guidance for employees unless you build the right relationships. Very political, be ready to play the game.
