Idaho State University Employer Reviews

I have learned an important thing of my life by studying at Idaho State University. That is if you want the best of someone, just be a very good friend of him. Most of work as a research assistant was fun. I learnt a lot, gain experience to manage myself.

A typical day at work involves grading and office hours to help students fully understand the class syllabus.

12 years working with all types and levels of students in an Outreach and Transfer Center located on a community college campus. We are a one-stop shop that advises traditional, non-traditional, non-degree and degree seeking, high school through doctorate, recruiting through graduation, among all other administrative duties as Assistant Director. My – more... experience has been extremely fulfilling, challenging at times, rewarding beyond measure and very educational and diverse.

Every semester for twelve years I have worked closely with faculty, registrar, students, adjuncts, other advisors and our host campus to schedule distance learning classes, classrooms, testing facilities, proctoring, and making the difficult decision of determining which classes must take priority, if required. – less

I worked as a student while attending ISU. They worked around my school schedule very well, and allowed me some time to do homework while at work. My certain position was also excellent in work autonomy.

The institution is growing into a research focused entity.

It is a comfortable place to work, pay is low. ISU is a state owned entity so they are pay the lowest amount possible.

Worked here in various student work positions. All of the positions were great. It was a low stress environment and all of my managers were extremely accommodating with regards to school work.

Opening procedures, opened up lab made sure everything was up and running for the students and faculty, great staff and faculty

If you can avoid the politics happening around you, and yes I know that it's very hard to do that, Idaho State University is a great place to work. I worked there for over 5 years and left to move to another state. I am working in the University system of my new state location and I really miss ISU. The management in my dept was not a top down, you – more... will do things this way type of place. If we had a better way of doing things, then at least it was considered. Decision were typically made by a group, not just a single person or mandated by Boise State. The benefits are good, at least they were when I was there - believe me I don't have anywhere near the same benefits in my new location! – less

The school administration did a great job in providing everything that was needed.
Teaching for the first time took several adjustments to the different levels of student abilities found in the class.

The morale here is very low. There is no open communication. there is no trust and everyone constantly has to watch his or her back.
