I work sunday-thursday 7:00-3:30 (summer schedule) and i learned how to be more effectiver custodian work

decent place to work, too many college students in charge, enjoyed working with my co-workers

Kent State provided an amazing enviorment for living, earning, and learning! As a student employee you are fairly compensated for your job and hours of work, schedules are flexable and the managment is friendly, overall the working eviorment is stress free and plesant.

Great place to work, being inside the university always keep you energetic

Kent State allowed me the ability to grow as a teacher, while expanding my knowledge in fashion design.

Spent a summer there, facilities are not the best, but the professors were great and willing to help.

Good communication and helps you get involved. Made many student and faculty friends.

Clean several areas on campus a college; great place for advancement; education; great management & co-workers;

Not a demanding job, low paced, people are friendly and most work are done for professor

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

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

This was a great way to look at my profession and to help expose tomorrow's professionals to real life experiences.

Overall a decent place to work as a teaching assistance. Management and payment is good.

Good position to transition into management. Great compensation and benefits.

I really enjoyed my time at KSU and would recommend this place to many of my friends and family. The experience I gained in Dr. Twieg's lab advanced my knowledge and interest within organic chemistry.

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

If you are faculty, you have it made. If you are staff, you have to jump departments to be promoted.

Trained in responding to building emergencies
CPR, AED, First Aid Training
Transporting and lifting heavy machinery
Preparing pools for renovation

KSU is a fantastic opportunity to allow a student to begin honing their craft in the IT field. They understand your school scheduling needs and are willing to work around them. With fantastic student coworkers and a flexible management, there are always new things to learn and explore.

The department I worked in was a great group of people with strong work ethic and dedication to the programs they manage. Although very limited say in the decision making process related to the projects we worked on.
