Pros

Great institutional support from the staff and the university. Everyone tries to help as much as possible. Sometimes there isnt enough to go around with 80,000+ students, but thats life.

Cons

Stipends have been stuck now for 5 years. Every so often we got a $50 pay raise that is usually lost to the yearly $100 increase in housing costs. The health benefits were stellar but they are being downgraded.

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.
