Cons

could provide more benefits and funding for program leaders

Pros

I was a grad assistant as part of my tuition, and the position gave me a lot of opportunities to work along side AU's professors and do hands-on research. Work is diverse and constantly changing by the semester so it was always fresh.

Cons

Sometimes the changes were not for the better. Your work experience will greatly depend on how the professor you work for decides to treat you. While two of my professors were great, a third was extremely hard to get a hold of and get any actual work from. Ran into issues with the administration with that.

Pros

Tuition remission if you want to go to school

Cons

Lack of support from administration; bad pay; often not empowered

Pros

Good employee culture and benefits, lovely location

Cons

Poor pay equity for staff

Pros

It offers a nice work environment and networking opportunities

Cons

Besides the low salaries I can’t complain

Pros

Nice people, good benefits (besides salary), lots of things to get involved with

Cons

Salary is low and "merit" increases are low and not transparent. T
