Pros

I currently work for Penn State's College of Earth and Mineral Sciences IT department, and i absolutely love it here. It's been a great job while i have been in college, good pay, good experience, and management always gives you the opportunity to learn. That's what i liked most about it, i was able to sharpen my skills and learn and apply new ones.

Cons

None that i can say

Pros

They were very flexible with hours and it was a fun place to work. There was lots of downtime to do other things while on the clock, and an e-bike to get around campus quickly.

Cons

Toward the end they got pretty strict about keeping your computer on a certain tab to take online tickets, and you could get in trouble for not doing it. It’s tedious work overall.

Pros

flexibility. I'm on a fellowship I won with a great advisor. It is not so good for others.

Cons

An inherently liminal position with severely reduced benefits.
