Pros

I enjoyed working as a math grader at Penn State for three years as an undergraduate student. The hours were flexible since I graded papers at my apartment and just turned in my papers at the end of the week.

Cons

Some professors that I worked with did not have a grasp of time and often asked for too many problems to be graded per homework assignment.

Pros

They were very flexible with hours and it was a fun place to work. There was lots of downtime to do other things while on the clock, and an e-bike to get around campus quickly.

Cons

Toward the end they got pretty strict about keeping your computer on a certain tab to take online tickets, and you could get in trouble for not doing it. It’s tedious work overall.
