Pros

Laid back atmosphere for the most part.

Cons

The person running the IT department has no interest in anyone but themselves. Declaring themselves smarter than anyone in the IT department and ignoring all input from staff can lead to a very frustrating experience. They have promoted desktop support personnel into System Engineering roles that are beyond their capabilities and expect them to be successful. They lead by fear and dominance. I saw quite a few good people that had been with ACC many, many years run off because their views differed from the new management.

Pros

To some degree, you can decide when your SI sessions (tutoring/study sessions) take place. You must, however, attend the lectures of the courses for which you are serving as an SI. The job is pretty easy if you understand the course; you're mainly just explaining concepts from the course to students and helping them work problems, complete assignments, and prep for tests. It's easy to fit in another part-time job with this job. If you have no teaching experience but are considering teaching in the future, this is a way to get some useful experience.

Cons

Many of the people running the SI department are a bit "silly," for lack of a better word. They have a lot of naive ideas about how you should conduct your sessions. Luckily, they mostly just talk about these ideas early in the semester and in their email newsletters and don't interfere with your work as long as you complete your tasks and no students complain.
