Kent State Work/Study
Laboratory Technician Assistant (Former Employee), Kent, OH – April 21, 2013
Pros: flexible and lenient
Cons: fetid
The entry is under lock and key so I would have to call someone to open the door for me which could take up to 20 minutes. Students were not allowed to have a key (despite me working there for 4 years). Once inside the laboratory, I would head to the bathroom to change into scrubs provided by the university. I would then walk through the laboratory – more... to check to see where everything is in the cycle.

Due to the nature of this position, I will leave out any gory details but basically, after the Lab Techs were moving the animals from their dirty cage to their clean cage, I had the job of cleaning out the bedding, water bottles, and from their cage. I swept and mopped on Fridays, and cleaned out the incinerator on Mondays.

There was nothing difficult about this job. It was easy money for a college student.

The most enjoyable thing I can think of was I got to listen to my music and have great relationships with my co-workers. – less

Very routine position that still had excitement
Student worker- Business and Supply (Current Employee), Kent, OH – March 29, 2013
Pros: very student friendly
generally delivered to shops and zones, received shipments off trucks, and distributed supplies as per pick tickets with quality customer service. Management is in transit currently, but current supervisor is splendid and understanding of student schedules. Hardest part of the job is sometimes not having things to do. Most enjoyable part of the job – more... is going on runs, sometimes to places as far away as Cleveland. – less

Great learning experience
Lectuter (Current Employee), Kent, OH – February 6, 2013
Pros: free tuition
Lecture and develop schedule for dietetic interns. Develop exams and develop new teaching tools to make the classes interactive.

I have learned to be flexible. I work well with co-workers. The hardest part of the job is lecturing 3 classes in one day, because you can lose your voice if you do not drink plenty of water.

The most enjoyable part of the – more... job is lecturing and meeting students. – less
