Great Place to Work - Research Fellow Utah State University Employee Review

Wfh Flexible hours You get to know professors better

You make minimum wage and don't build skills

Academia is a more relaxed atmosphere than a for profit business. Most of the people I work with are very kind. And the summers are amazingly quiet.

The pay is very low. My position was just created and the base pay is $50k. However, the raises here only come if you leave your position and move to a different division within the university. It is commonly said that if you want a raise or a promotion you have to go somewhere else.
