Educational Testing Service Employer Reviews

A typical day at ETS involves answering various questions about the Advanced Placement exams. The students who have taken the exams call to get their scores sent to colleges. There are AP Coordinators at each school, we assist them with everything from answering questions about rules for administering the exams to ordering the exams.

I worked through a temp. agency, that placed me at ETS. Most times I worked in a warehouse, doing data entry for all of the shipments that would come through or that were being shipped out. ETS is where I gained most of my customer service skills, when I worked for my mother at 15 years old. Management had a great system for all of the coworkers, it – more... was a very structured work place; everything had to be in order because we were dealing with national testing services. I don't really remember too many of my co-workers, because we were always in and out of different assignments for the temp agency. The job was not very hard, the day just dragged a bit. The most enjoyable part was when I was an intern. I was sent to Daytona Beach, Florida to work as a co-supervisor for SAT graders. Though I worked 12-13 hour days, I was still able to enjoy myself. I met so many teachers from everywhere! Because I aspired to be an elementary school teacher, I was in paradise! – less

Work is consistent and a person will be busy through out the day. Have quarterly meetings from President and keeps the staff well imformed on what is going on with the company.

Productive and exciting place to work as well as challenging place to work. During our peak period it would be uncontrolling busy but I had great coworkers and we made the worst days our best days. I learned how to deal with irate customers as well as irate parents, I also learned how to deal with many different personalities.

Everyone I worked with was very professional and ETS has a pretty good culture. As a non-profit, they have more non-work activities than a for-profit environment, but for good causes like United Way and Susan Komen. They have good training opportunities also.

Very good company, excellent benefits, opportunity for growth

I worked for Educational Testing Services through a Temporary Agency. I started out Filing S.A.T answer booklets and performed well and was placed doing Data Entry three weeks later with more pay. I also performed well doing Data Entry and was advaced to Customer Call Center Representative with a higher hourly pay. I loved working for ETS because of – more... the advacement oppertunities and the good pay. – less

This is a great time to gather your thoughts and get caught up with inner peace while proctoring. You aren't to bring items to read so you catch yourself reading the room if you're hyper like myself.

It's a great gig, but does require patience. It can go by very slow if not feeling well that morning. Otherwise, it is quite nice to be around those eager – more... high school students looking to take off to their future. – less

Overall a wonderful place to work. Beautiful campus with a pond (Rosedale), on-site cafeteria, great benefits, nice salary. Terrific people!

It's a great place to work. Especially if you have young children, the hours are great! I've learned a lot to help advance my professional career. Management is decent, but it really depends on the department you work for. Which I believe can go for any organization.

Great place to work, the employees are great people to be around.

Not much of a time commitment. Only a few Saturdays a year and you are out by 1 pm. Good pay for only a few hours!

I worked in a call center providing customer support for the AP test. It was largely monotonous work, as I would answer a lot of the same questions. I worked 9-5, 5 days a week for a few weeks. I got this job through a temp agency.

As an intern at ETS for 4 years, and with multiple family members having worked here, I have only good things to say about this company. They are very friendly, laid-back and really willing to help you further your career.

I really enjoyed working at ETS. The people are fun but are very knowledgeable at their position. Due to bad economy, I was laid off but would return in a heartbeat. Good Managers and Great Benefits.
