        Pros

        I enjoyed teaching students and helping them succeed in the courses I taught. I gained a lot of useful experience developing my communication skills. The instructors in my department were very supportive and backed me up when handling difficult situations with students. I felt empowered to do my job and they gave me a space where I could take ownership of my work and perform a job that I could be proud of.

        Cons

        Unfortunately the pay was lacking compared to the other universities in Chicago, but everywhere else in the city is a private school so that may explain (not excuse) it. I heard of students struggling to pay bills with the pay they were receiving (I was fortunate to have a higher stipend based the department I worked in). It's bad enough that the students will go on strike to demand higher pay every few years (many instructors also support this and also will protest for higher pay in their union as well). You may deal with disgruntled undergraduate students as a TA who are upset due to factors that are out of your control (though in some ways this was a positive experience in that it helped me develop skills in handling such situations as stated above). There were sometimes communication issues with instructors as to expectations but I think a large part of it was due to having to adapt different teaching modalities during COVID times and then having to transition back to in-person teaching.

      Underwriter

      I've completed an initial phone screening interview, followed by a 2-hour interview with the Department VP. Next in the process are three separate 90-minute peer interviews. Is there a possibility of another interview after the peer interviews, or should I anticipate receiving an offer?
