Vantaggi

Other teaching assistants and instructors are very friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive. Most students are very respectful and engaged with the courses. Usually lots of flexibility given in how office hours and discussion sections are operated.

Svantaggi

Hiring paperwork was given with only a weekend to complete, and hiring staff unreachable during this time. Late pay issues, too. Students have become increasingly antisemitic, even to TAs and instructors. Political activity of the union also gets in the way of work unnecessarily often (see the Spring 2024 strike over Israel/Palestine conflict). Women and people of color are generally underrepresented, more so in some STEM departments.

Vantaggi

Decent benefits, but not really as great as everyone assumes. Some colleagues who really care and do great work. Impressive students.

Svantaggi

Relatively poor pay and pay inequities. Extremely poor fiscal management - that CFO who was fired for outing it was spot on. Senior administrators and faculty are incentivized to spend a lot of money on things that serve few students and hoard resources to make themselves look good for performance reviews and tenure committees, but it means a lot of extra work gets dumped on a growing a number of mid-level administrators and support staff - who now face layoffs or added workloads. It's all strangling the university's ability to serve its students, but I know several faculty members simply don't care about students or teaching.
