Minimum wage, no advancement or growth. - Bookseller Penn State Employee Review

Friendly professor and professional staff

Reassignment can take longer and can be a tedious process

My supervisor was fantastic: provided good feedback, flexibility in work schedule, opportunities for professional growth.

Usually 1-2 year contract, determined by grant funding and availability Workplace experience is more dependent on the individual researcher/research lab you end up working for than the university as a whole
