Ball State University Employer Reviews

Always able to work with my school schedule. Very nice people to work with. Learned to work with others and deal with money.

Required effective interpersonal, communication, and organizational skills. Fast-paced environment.

A typical day at work involves coming into the office in the morning and conversing with the colleagues for a few minutes. Then after spending a few hours chasing quizzes and tests around, grading them, and submitting them on our online system, a few of us will head out together for lunch before we all return to finish up any left-over work. I will – more...  typically spend three days a week sitting in on Economics classes for various professors, to give tests, quizzes, or other materials. I also spend around two hours a week helping students study for tests and/or quizzes during my office hours.

Our supervisors here consist of the Head of the Economics Department as well as another subordinate professor. They are very easy to work for and have good attitudes about their jobs. They have also both been with the University for a substantial amount of time.

There really is no hard part to this job compared to some of the other jobs I have been employed to do. It has actually been a great opportunity for me to be employed by the University, as it has helped with networking and not to mention it pays for my graduate tuition. – less

Good job and easy to fit into my school schedule. I am glad that I decided to get an on campus job.

I really enjoyed working in the dorms as a Resident Assistant. While it took up nearly all of my free time between classes and studio, it was very rewarding.

My work here was mostly with the football team. I was able to learn a lot about how to work in a professional sporting environment that is focused on success.

I enjoyed my 2.5 years working at Ball State University. I would work there again.

Despite the president receiving a huge salary, her faculty lose their benefits, teaching positions, and COLAs, while watching the hiring of new employees with benefits. This occurs even with excellent faculty. I have a 20 year experience as faculty with BSU and have watched it become just another money-making corporation.
