Pros

The students are fantastic and make the job exciting. There's a lot of opportunity to get involved in the campus community, even as a staff member.

Cons

Higher level management isn't exactly qualified to be in their roles. Expectations are set very high without resources to meet expectations or accomplish goals.

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.
