Pros

a nice and quiet engineering school (as long as things go ok and you do not run into any problems). Benefits were ok.

Cons

Not supportive of their staff: I ran into problems and had bad experience with the HR, overall I was not happy with the HR and how the problem was handled. Pay was low and the campus was way too quiet for my taste. Overall I did not have a good social experience on campus.

Pros

Can be pretty easy if most of your work is office hours. I had about seven hours a week and most of the time there weren't many students.

Cons

Grading was a lot harder than I expected. Pretty demoralizing honestly; a lot of clearly ChatGPT submissions (ECE programming class mostly with freshmen who'd never seen code before, so not surprising). Grading paper exams was fine.
