Grand Valley State University Employer Reviews

A typical day consist of making coffee and stocking stores. my co-workers are easy going and are mainly GVSU students. The hardest part of the job is pulling a cart of food across the bridge in the windy, snowy winters. The most enjoyable part of the job are the free meal plans and the encounters that you have with the customers.

Good Study environment
Clean landscaping and living environment
Caring instructors

I work directly with my advisor and professor, and my students. My students happen to be my peers too. As a teaching assistant, I had a 3-hour commitment every week. I have grown immensely over the past two years of teaching. The hardest part of my job is getting all video content to work properly. I love watching the finished live-to-tape shows that – more... I produced. – less

Tutoring is somewhat flexible. Not sure what GVSU's full-time jobs look like.

Challenging, interesting,and fun to work. Helping and intelligent co-workers. Frustrating at times but I like the way everything works.

Everyday is a different day, different challenges. Work is never monotonous but time consuming and sometimes frustrating when it gets to tough to get results. Co-worker is fun to work with and are very helpful.

I was a student worker and had a very relaxed work schedule. They recognize that studies come first and really work with all people when scheduling. I really enjoyed my job and was sad to see it end.

I enjoyed learning their process of donations to the University.

Had two job offers in one day. Accepted the one closest to my home. They did not tell me that the job would be moving to a city farther away in 5 years. After the move to the city, a coworker was promoted and I experienced several years of bullying and harassment from this coworker, another coworker (who wanted my job), my boss, and another management – more... person. My health suffered to the point I was rushed to the hospital and spent some time in the cardiac unit. The union filed some grievances on my behalf, but the stress of following through on them would have killed me. I wound up leaving this organization. – less

I met with my colleagues about once a week to discuss our progress, goals, and deadlines. We freely offered our thoughts without fear of criticism, and learned how to improve our work productivity. If anyone fell behind due to personal or academic obligations, the team distributed his or her work to stay on schedule.

I enjoyed experiencing the process – more... of research experimentation: from developing a hypothesis, gathering articles on the subject, constructing an experiment design, testing the thesis, and writing and reporting our results. Sometimes, the experimental procedures felt mundane and repetitive, but I felt proud of our work and enjoyed the overall experience. – less

This was okay. Rarely worked because I was in school at the time. Only really received work if it was feasible for the budget.

Pleasant work environment. Goal driven. Encouraging team.

I enjoyed working there it gave me a lot of experience. The people are great and it was fun.

GVSU is a university like no other. It's reputation for outstanding sports and academics matches its amazing atmosphere, diverse population, and learning/working environment.

GVSU has wonderful health, retirement and educational benefits! They encourage their employees to continue to advance their education goals and to never to stagnate.

Grand Valley State was by far my favorite place to work as a student. As either a Resident Assistant or Desk Worker, there was great emphasis on the needs of the student as well as on culminating skills. The work was regular, as often as possible and worked around my schedule as a work.

I enjoyed working at Grand Valley State University. The supervisors were amazing and they cared about my well being. I grew both professionally and personally throughout my employment with the university.

Grand Valley State University gives you a chance to earn some income while you are in the middle of all of your classes. They also give very reasonable hours.

I worked here as a research assistant to a professor during my undergraduate studies, was not a full employee. It is a great institution.
