      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay for GSR is abysmal compared to what we could earn on the job market, even though my tuition is covered.

      Athletics Event Staff

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -You set up before an athletic event, then spend most of the time crowd controlling and working ticket transactions. When things slow down, you get to watch the game. Getting paid to watch a sports event is not so bad. There is manual labor (some heavy lifting) but eveything is easy to follow. -This is a great part time job for students -Great way to use work study. They don't mind if you go over your work study amount.

      Cons

      - There wasn't any pay raise during the time I worked there. - You may have to work during music events

      Research is a Hit or Miss experience depending on Mentor

      Assistant project scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Sunny and dry climate; Excellent Library Services; A few excellent staff/ faculty

      Cons

      My experience was bad because of terrible mentor, cronyism/ conflict of interest was rampant in my department. Department Chairs hire family, bypassing the better qualified. Unfortunate, but some terrible faculty here get promoted because peer review is severely lacking. Faculty are too busy to see what is happening. A thirty year hire can really wreck a department and it did
