Central Michigan University Employer Reviews

Learned hard work and great place for students to start out.

Doing research is a great way to expand my knowledge and gain experience in the field and I loved every task I was given.

I started a website designed to help connect current and past MSA students. I learned how to start a website from scratch and research classroom topics for higher education learning. My supervisors are very helpful and went above and beyond to help me get a clear understanding of my duties. The hardest part of my job was finding websites databases to – more... use, but overall I enjoyed working with my staff and supervisors. – less

I was just a student taking credit as a teaching assistant, so I did not get paid. I like the psychology department because it is diverse and you are pretty much guaranteed to find someone you will like.

They work well around your schedule as a student and allow you to get experience in areas you will make a career out of.

Good experience with study. I used to teach students at the University. Overall the uni. was good.

Always enjoyed the work there, but there was limited opportunity for advancement and absolutely no long-term security. =

Typical day consists of a early morning session monitoring camp employees and campers in attendance. Logging camper hours. Organizing and preparing for lunch. Then a mid day session again logging workers hours and monitoring camper activities. Running a coaches corner where there is personal interaction between myself and the high-school coaches in – more... attendance. An afternoon session where I monitor the camp employees and campers and log employee hours. Then a coaches social that night where I entertain coaches and ensure that they have a good time while bringing there athletes to our camps.
I learned how to manage people and time.
My co-workers are good hard working people.
The hardest part of the job is staying organized and working long hrs.
The most enjoyable part of the job is providing a great product. – less

This job was flexible and I was able to develop great time management skills, while maintaining a steady job and heavy course load throughout my time at Central Michigan University. I was able to work in a productive and comfortable work environment with other fellow students. This job provided me the opportunity to build upon my people skills in a – more... team structured environment. – less

It's great earning money while studying. It's five hours a week and doesn't take away significantly from study time.

This job is very helpful for someone is lives in the dorms. It helps for the individual to meet new people and make friends.

Great job while I was in school balanced well with school hours

Loved working here wish I could of stayed. The hardest part was leaving.

I have learned about Coordination and Consulting with students on lab locations and printing locations. I have also learning about updating each lab every hour with new supplies.

A typical day of cleaning a unit was making sure kitchen appliances looked new after cleaning, making sure all window were clean and sills were free of any and all debris, cleaning all light fixtures, banisters, carpets, and bathroom fixtures. All floors had to be stripped, waxed and buffed at the end of the cleaning process. Each unit took approximately – more... 16 hours with the drying of the floors included. You worked alone on this job which was nice, but the hardest part of the job was cleaning up after someone totally destroyed the place and left garbage all over to be picked up. The most enjoyable part of the job was that you cleaned when your schedule permitted availability. Management was very good and supplied with all materials and body gear needed to complete job. – less

I enjoy almost everything about teaching at this school. I believe that raises in adjunct pay occur, based upon time in the program.

A great way for the university to connect and work with the community.

This can be a difficult place to work. Lots of unrest between those running the day-to-day operations and the higher-ups. Managers have been known to stab people in the back. If you get a good manager, it can make this place the best experience you've ever had. Get a CYA manager and you might want to look for a different job.

Central Michigan University supplied me with a summer job this past summer. The was a moving crew job, where 30+ students work together to set up for events, and prepare the campus for camps and move in. The students working were all very social and provided one of the best summers i've had here at CMU. The boss was also a great guy to work with, very – more... on point and ready to get things rolling everyday. – less
