Pros

Teaching assistant-ship pays for tuition and most fees, if you have 25% appointment or above (10 hrs per week). If you are over 25% the benefits are very good. If less, then it's an average part-time job for a grad student (time that might be better utilized finishing your degree quicker).

Cons

Facilities are not well-maintained. Learning labs (computer lab, mechatronics lab, machine shop) are a mess.
