East Carolina University Employer Reviews

As an AmeriCorps VISTA I felt that my position was very misunderstood by the higher ups, but those directly working with me were awesome. The VSLC went through A LOT of transition during ym VISTA year, which caused a good deal of stress. There are many things I learned from this position, too many to write about.

As a research assistant I would prepare plates for growth of C. elegans. Synchronization of the C. elegans would provide the eggs where I would isolate an organism and watch its developmental mode based on its locomotion which was observed under a dissecting microscope, and if there was any abnormalities they were recorded.

Worked closely with individuals with the purpose to further there knowledge and use of the subject at hand. Provided feedback on written work and instructed my peer as to why they should make the changes.

This is a great place to work. My only low rating was due to it being a temporary position.

Being available to help out the Professor in the department.

ECU takes into consideration that you are a student. They are very consistent, and are a leader in customer service.

My graduate experience was rigorous but I had help from good professors at ECU.

ECU, is great! The staff here is wonderful, they are always concerned about your professional development, and growth.

The sports marketing department at East Carolina University is a great place for a student to work and to gain experience in the sports marketing field.

Co workers are very helpful and are willing to answer any questions you may have about the University. If they do not know the answer they will direct you to someone who knows the answer.

My job is to proctor exams, help grading the exams, post them online ASAP, tutoring students and help with research. I learned how to interact with people and talk in front of a crowd in my teaching assistant job. My research related job however taught me something entirely different. I was lucky to be a part of a project that I learned how a topic – more... of a project is determined, how to do the background research and literature review. Every Tuesday I need to present a summary of reference papers. After several months I found that I'm getting more confident when giving presentations and less nervous. The hardest part of my job comes with the lack of research experience that sometimes I need to go over the work again which later became the funniest part of the job. Every time when reading the materials again or summarizing it I realized something I missed and then they became something new I learned. Through the discussion and guidance of the professor, I came to be more cautious when exposed with abundant information and more open-minded to understand different perspectives and sides to look at things. – less
