Pros

It wasn't necessarily all that demanding. Grading projects. Basically learned how things were graded for future classes I took. Met some interesting people. Mostly remote.

Cons

For the amount that we pay for tuition, almost seemed criminal how little they gave back to the students for working as a TA. For that reason I didn't try at the job at all. Having to talk to students with major clinical depression on a weekly basis was way above my pay grade.

Pros

Flexible work schedule. Great and kind staff to work with. My team is wonderful

Cons

Salary not competing with inflation and is not competitive especially for the Boston area. On my salary I cannot afford to live close to my work. The "merit" increases this year were laughable - not competing with inflation nor cost of living.
