How flexible is your schedule working at SMU (Southern Methodist University)?

Educational benefits are great for every program besides the MBA program where you're losing about half of some pay checks due to how taxes align. Most other programs are great for pursuing your masters making these level roles at SMU a great step in your career.

Most roles at these levels have massive turn over due to how little increase in pay they each receive each year. No work from home days/ flex schedule for working weekends which most departments require. This is especially frustrating as if you're salary there's no added benefit. Often times mid-level managers overtask duties/ don't communicate expectations clearly due to the lack of bandwidth not for the lack of trying.

Limited weekly hours due to student work restrictions. Can be challenging to balance with personal research and classes during busy weeks. Some tasks may feel repetitive across semesters. Limited opportunities for career advancement within the role itself.

Students are able to research with faculty, lots of guidance, flexible work schedule

There were little chances to collaborate with groups outside of my own

Excellent opportunity to gain research experience, supportive professors, flexible schedule, and a chance to develop data analysis and academic writing skills.

Workload can vary depending on the project, and tasks sometimes require independent learning with limited initial guidance.
