Interesting and fun place to work with.
Adjunct Professor of Italian (Current Employee), Philadelphia, PA – May 18, 2013
Pros: academic freedon, independence, positive environment.
Cons: no benefits.
My typical teaching hours are very intensive and fun. I work closely with my students on daily language topics. My students are very interactive. I use a variety of resources which include textbooks, Internet, projections, computer technology, videos. Over several years of teaching college students I learned to adapt my teaching method to their needs. – more... I constantly make changes as needed and I believe I improved myself to deal with a variety of demands and circumstances. The hardest thing in my job is the commuting time. The most enjoyable thing is being with my students and interacting with them. – less

Learned a lot, poorly run
Statistical Consultant (Current Employee), Philadelphia, PA – May 6, 2013
Pros: advisor supervision
Cons: bureaucracy, pay
Working at Drexel's Service Center provided me with a lot of valuable experience, especially as pertains to working with external clients. The bureaucracy is frustrating and opaque. However, I learned a lot and performed valid analyses.

Enjoyable
Tutor (Former Employee), Philadelphia, PA – May 4, 2013
I worked as tutor and I enjoyed working with the other tutors and students. The hardest part of the job is to understand the students learning style and coping with it because every student is different. However, it is also interesting to learn from students.

PhD-centered organization
Department Administrator (Current Employee), Philadelphia, PA – January 22, 2013
Pros: closed the week between christmas and new year
Cons: everything else.
PhD-centered organization with no respect or appreciation of the thousands of non-PhD staff who work there.

Benefits are terrible and more expensive than any other University in the Philadelphia area.

There is definitely a culture of fear and suppression. The "perks" of working in this University pale in comparison to the stress, hours, and mistreatment – more... of administrative staff. – less

Teaching Assistant (Former Employee), Philadelphia, PA – September 2, 2012
Drexel University is a great workplace filled with passionate and young scientist who are working hard and are very friendly and collaborative.
