Very friendly, enjoyable, and understanding place to work.
Gelfand Fellowship Program (Former Employee), Cuyahoga County – January 24, 2013
Within the Gelfand Program, I would travel out to various middle schools within Cuyahoga County. At these schools, I would help the teacher teach Science class, or aid the students in the creation and development of science fair projects.

As a resident assistant, I was directly responsible for the well-being and mental health of thirty students. Maintained – more... effective communication among the staff. Utilized teambuilding and teamwork to create and complete a plethora of programs for my community. Underwent extensive training to deal with various situations that could potentially occur in a residential hall including intimate partner violence and suicide prevention. – less

A wonderful place to work
Assistant Outreach Dental Assistant (Former Employee), Cleveland, OH – January 17, 2013
Once your thought the doors your family.
A typical day starts out with review of the days work and communication with coworkers. As an outreach coordinator I spent a good part of the day out of the office. At the end of the day, I often was not at the office but on the occasion I was I would help close down the main office or sort medical records.

Great employment--left too soon.
Maintenance Mechanic (Former Employee), Cleveland, OH – October 21, 2012
Pros: great job with amazing benefits.
Cons: n/a
A great job that I did not realize at the time because I wanted to do my thing, i.e. manage my own properties
I learned a lot about maintenance/repair ot HVAC systems,. I am sure that I would have avanced into management, if not at CWRU, definitely at some other facility.
My co-workers, for the most part, were good to work with. I learned a lot from – more... them. And our shift supervisor was a decent guy to work for,
he wanted the work done. – less

Fun workplace co-workers felt like family
Student Administrative Assistant (Former Employee), Cleveland, OH – October 15, 2012
Pros: end of the summer trips
Cons: it was only a temp job, no free lunch
While working for the Upward Bound program I had several secretarial duties such as; making copies for the boss and head secretaries, organizing student files, making fliers for the events that would take place during the week, making and receiving phone calls about the students and/or program. Here I learned how to multi-task because I had so much – more... to do during the day. Management was very helpful. I only had one co-worker and we worked together well never had any problems from one another. There hardest part was learning how to fill out the papers in the the student files when I first started but I got the hang of it quickly and enjoyed everyday at this job because everyone got along so well. – less

Kelvin Smith Library is a no go ...
Librarian (Former Employee), Cleveland, OH – September 18, 2012
Pros: physical environment. fairly new building, campus environment, university circle
Cons: toxic “cultural” environment.
Us vs. them attitudes. Chronic financial problems. Persistent racial tensions. Administration not responsive or even interested in staff suggestions, ideas, complaints. Limited advancement opportunity.
Office politics and power games rule the day. Star system. Cliques led by administrators. Ugh!

Hidden Gem
Special Assistant (Former Employee), Cleveland, OH – September 1, 2012
Pros: dynamic feel, talented people, gorgeous campus, fantastic nearby neighborhoods
Cons: limited gym
Case Western Reserve University ("Case") matches its quality to its gorgeous campus surrounded by arts institutions and two of the country's best hospitals, including Cleveland Clinic. The university plays expertly on its traditional strength, engineering, while reflecting the reinvigorated and robust local economy with new strengths in medicine and – more... fine arts.

Don't work in the Library
Librarian (Former Employee), Kelvin Smith Library – August 12, 2012
Pros: go for the tuition alone
Cons: just about everything else: tribal units, culture of division and paranoia, acceptance of division unit leader's decisions regardless of how absurd, etc.
Management by a librarian who hates librarians. Divisions managed by technology people who don't understand libraries at all. Utter chaos in the organization.

OK for a first job
Research Assistant II (Current Employee), Cleveland, OH – June 21, 2012
Pros: free classes at case, flexible work schedule (somewhat)
Cons: compensation, no upward mobility as a research assistant, no mentoring program
This was an "okay" first job. If your supervisor is willing to let you take classes during work, you can take advantage of the free classes at Case.

Everyone who works here is fairly young- and there are no mentoring programs that I'm aware of. Grant funded projects are often understaffed. There are times when we're extremely busy and times when there – more... is nothing to do. – less
