Interesting, but never changing
Part time Employee (Current Employee), Boston, MA –
Pros: free meals, simple and easy
Cons: not much advancement, small pay increase, sacrifice of studying hours
As a university job it was limited, Working as part time employee in the Dining Services of a dormitory, the details of the job never provided any challenge. The lack of challenge helped, since I could focus on my studying, but it was still an issue.

College of Fine Arts' IT Office
Technology Consultant (Former Employee), College of Fine Arts: IT Office, Boston, MA –
Pros: good pay for work-study
Cons: very demanding at times
Working as a technology consultant at the IT help desk was a good experience overall. There are some great people there, with very good management. It is fast paced as many people need tech support and they often need the solution quickly. You will be expected to learn a lot; this is not your average work-study job!
