- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
get to keep important concepts in your head, help others learn the material
Cons
grading is not the most fun thing on the planet
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
- informal - professors are very eager to work with students - consistent pay rates - plenty of opportunities that pay above minimum wages - department are open to letting students work as employees and allow for further research opportunities
Cons
- Depending on which department you work for your FWS award is usually the cap on how much money you’ll get - some departments will continue to pay you after your award has run out, but most will discontinue your employment until the next semester - For the Biomedical department, the system for reporting time changes every year. Be sure to stay up to date on the new system, otherwise hours may have to be logged in by your Supervisor, which most don’t know how to navigate the payment portals since most are on salary.
- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
The company has a fairly modular management style, with contract holders managing the contract work. The relationships you build in this kind of environment are permanent, life-long and consist of some of the most talented people in the south east.
Cons
You must operate like firm and "find" work and contract opportunities from your principal client, the defense department. The classified work environment is a downside for youths who need to write about their experiences in a resume. The experience is often overly technical, and while the skills are easy to generalize to the private sector, it is difficult to communicate why experience with LIDAR or calculating tortuosity of a nano-fabricated foam for a hall thruster gives you viable, general purpose proof-of-ability. Also, the non-profit status makes what should be rather interesting and easy going work feel like a game of musical chairs during years of defense spending contractions.

Pros
Perks & Programs The People The Campus A lot of events/programming if you know where to find them Pension, but you have to wait 10 years before being vested where other schools are 5.
Cons
The pay and the time it takes to get anything done. Georgia Tech, and I suspect the other USG institutions, lose good people due to the bureacracy and low pay. People come in from the outside making more than people who've been there for 20 years. I've seen staffmembers (different than faculty) with their Ph.D. making less than $50,000! Also staff is treated like a second-rate citizen.
