The campus is nice, students are great but management is lacking.

Pros

The campus is beautiful! You can truly find a nice quiet place to relax on the campus. The students (most of them) are exceptional. The students are friendly and respectful.

Cons

Management is lacking. Human resources, like most HR's, is lacking and not there for the employee. They treat employees poorly and could care less about what is really going on. The lack of good values within the department I worked for was a huge negative. Most of the people I worked with wanted to sit around and do nothing all day/night. A lot of employees leaving reviews will say it was a good place to work but that is most likely based on not having to really work. Most of the employees are on the lazy side but management allows it.

I was a student employee at Reed for three years and it was a very useful experience.

Business Outlook

Pros

Student employees in many departments have a good deal of independence, the pay is good, I've heard mostly positive things about every staff or faculty member that supervises student employees, and the payroll department is particularly on top of their stuff.

Cons

Student employment opportunities can be scarce.
