Pros

Flexible with hours, easy job with straightforward expectations so long as you drive properly, and one of the higher paid campus jobs

Cons

The busier shifts with a lot of riders can get stressful as you are encouraged to be timely in your arrivals. However you're never penalized as management is well aware of the environment

Pros

Decent benefits, but not really as great as everyone assumes. Some colleagues who really care and do great work. Impressive students.

Cons

Relatively poor pay and pay inequities. Extremely poor fiscal management - that CFO who was fired for outing it was spot on. Senior administrators and faculty are incentivized to spend a lot of money on things that serve few students and hoard resources to make themselves look good for performance reviews and tenure committees, but it means a lot of extra work gets dumped on a growing a number of mid-level administrators and support staff - who now face layoffs or added workloads. It's all strangling the university's ability to serve its students, but I know several faculty members simply don't care about students or teaching.
