CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Affluent California academic institution, good place to work if you're a student

Cons

Lack of communication among employees and student employees (this is for Housing, Dining Services), due to budget cuts, students under Federal Work Study are given priority because school is unwilling to pay for non-funded students + budget cuts

Great for students

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I worked at various departments, going from a printing job to programming. -Best part is that your bosses will almost always be understanding of classes/midterms/finals. In other words, very flexible schedules -Good learning experience. Can usually learn a new language on the job, extremely useful for future jobs

Cons

-Can be boring sometimes. My first few jobs was just mindless scanning. Other office jobs are a lot of 'leave-you-alone' type of jobs.

Pros

Flexible with your school schedule, can sometimes do homework while working, interaction with the campus community, job is fairly easy if you listen at the orientation/training shifts

Cons

Supervisors had cliques with some students making promotions/hours more available to them, hours were sometimes hard to come by and many times were not distributed evenly/fairly, sometimes have to deal with the occasional rude customer
