Program Coordinator, Budget Manager, RFP processes
Sr. Staff Assistant (Current Employee), Atlanta, GA – March 8, 2013
Pros: able to be off when requested; insurance package
Cons: micro-management;inconsistency; being taken advantage of and not being compensated for my worth
I am a program coordinator and budget manager for outosourced vendors reporting to the Office of Auxiliary Services,wearing the recognized title of Sr. Staff Assistant. In my eight years of being employed at my organization, I have learned how to delve more into excel with calculating formulas, I have gained a great knowledge of RFP processes, and have – more... coordianted an Auxiliary Services council event on campus, among many other things.

My co-workers are nice and helpful. The hardest part of my job is knowing that I am not being recognized nor compensated for the hard work I produce. The most enjoyable part of my job is knowing that when I need a break, I can take one with little to no dilemma. – less

Great workstudy job
Student Assistant - Assistant Secretary (Former Employee), Atlanta, GA – September 8, 2012
Pros: many free lunches, flexible work schedule, on campus, great pay
Cons: unprofessionalism
I worked in this office for 3 years as an assistant and though out my experience I've met a lot of people who worked within my university and well as the top dogs. During particular times of the school year work was challenging and deadlines need to be met however there were huge easy going rest periods. You work with one or two other students in the – more... office and set your schedule around your availability. The only problem for myself was that my supervisor would be a little unprofessional at times. Overall it helped me gain administrative skills as well as business, and build personal professionalism. – less

WORKING AT SCHOOL
Teachers Assistant (Former Employee), Atlanta, GA – August 14, 2012
Pros: worked well with my schedule
Cons: not enough hours
MY DAY WOULD CONSIST OF ME WORKING BETWEEN CLASSES. SINCE IT WAS A WORK STUDY JOB, I DID WHAT I COULD TO BE A GOOD STUDENT EMPLOYEE. THE HARDEST PART ABOUT THE JOB WAS GRADING PAPERS ON TOP OF DOING MY OWN ASSIGNMENTS, BUT THE MOST ENJOYABLE PART OF THE JOB WAS GAINING A LOT OF EXPERIENCE ON THE DAILY TASK OF AN ACTUAL COLLEGE PROFESSOR.

Productive work place
STAFF ACCOUNTANT (Current Employee), Atlanta, GA – June 20, 2012
Pros: great working hours ( 9am-5pm)
Cons: no room for growth
A typical day at work will start first with unfinished project left over from previous day then get a new task or a new project.Also, work on the daily regular tasks and updating my manager about the progress of any project that is due.Also, team up with other co-workers on some projects or see if I can help to expedite some projects.
The harder part – more... of the job is when a project isn't done on time according to the deadline and the most enjoyable part of the job is when the management appreciated your work on a project. – less
