Pros
Mindful of student obligations. Professors and other faculty are fantastic resources. Flexible schedule. Once you are in, it is fairly simple to move across positions in different classes and get involved in research.

Sometimes there is a bit of lack of organization and communication regarding specific obligations. Although you are part of a professor's staff, you are managed by a student, who may not always provide the most helpful guidelines from the get go.
