- Former Contractor, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
- Everyone I worked with was absolutely lovely. I came in with no agricultural knowledge and never felt like I was being talked down to. It was a friendly, supportive environment and I was always happy to be there. - I had many great opportunities to learn new skills and jump into different research groups to lend a hand. The work was diverse and always interesting. - There was a lot of flexibility with work hours; if I needed to head off early, it was always okay as long as I let someone know. - I really appreciated the workshop opportunities and how willing people were to further my skillset.
Cons
- Getting there is a bit of a hassle. As beautiful as the campus is, I am glad I never have to travel up Three Mile Hill again! - The pay was pretty average, I was on $18/hr with a MSc degree but was offered a $4 pay rise after a few months. It was enough to live on, but I definitely would've tried to negotiate more if I planned to be there long-term.
