Pros

Good pay, make new connections with professors and staff, go at your own pace, an overall good experience and a great way to make ends meet while taking classes or during breaks.

Cons

Limited growth as an employee - especially if you're a student. It's a small community, and depending on what job you are working and in which department you are in, you may or may not get much exposure to connection opportunities.

Pros

Can be pretty easy if most of your work is office hours. I had about seven hours a week and most of the time there weren't many students.

Cons

Grading was a lot harder than I expected. Pretty demoralizing honestly; a lot of clearly ChatGPT submissions (ECE programming class mostly with freshmen who'd never seen code before, so not surprising). Grading paper exams was fine.
