It is a very institutional job, with employee protections and full holidays. But the pay is very low on an hourly basis for part time.

No benefits offer for part-time employees although eligible for health insurance if wanted. Full time employees get the option for 401K and healthcare.

Unfortunately you can only work part time at OPS within Columbia University so there was no benefits package, however, you can get paid time off and use the printing services free of charge.

Great health insurance, company match, and tuition benefits once you've worked there for two years.
