liked job just couldn't take third shift anymore
Operations (Former Employee), Oxford, OH –
Pros: got two half hour breaks, paid, and convienient parking
Cons: third shift is hard
I started at 8 pm and cleaned locker rooms, common areas, weight rooms, restrooms, classrooms, gym, and workout rooms. At shutdown I learn to strip and refinish floors, did high dusting and any other major job they found for me. Management was alright but could use some classes on appropriate behavior. I liked working with my coworkers and got along – more...  with them well. Hardest part of the job was the shift. I liked learning new ways to clean and liked trying to be busy. – less

Great atmosphere with lots of interactive opportunities
Teaching Assistant (Current Employee), Oxford, OH –
Pros: interactive workplace, management experience
Cons: grading
A typical day a work consists of showing up to the classroom, having everyone (students) find their seats and class commences. To begin the lab, lecture material is dictated to the students with questions welcome at any point in time. The lab procedures are told to the students, allowing time for the students to digest the ideas and ask questions for – more...  clarification if needed. Following the background lecture and lab procedures to give the students information supplementing the experiment, the practical lab procedures begin. I walk around the classroom as the students work in groups (most of the time) to make sure they're conducting the processes correctly. Once the lab ends, the students clean up the lab, wipe down their work stations with ethanol, and we have a concluding discussion to make sure the topic makes sense to the students.
I've learned many things in my position as a TA. Among these are how to work with students, as well as be an authority figure amongst them. The management experience of working with a classroom full of students is invaluable. I found that every week I was learning new things, and that working with a culturally eclectic classroom allowed me to learn how to interact uniformly, while still making the student feel wanted and included. The hardest part of the job was grading hand-written exams, which were a mandatory part of the course. However, reading the different styles of writing and types of penmanship made the experience much more personal. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with the students. I enjoy being sociable and interacting with the individuals I am teaching, and passing on the knowledge to students is extremely rewarding. – less

Nightmare!
Teaching Assistant (Former Employee), Oxford, OH –
The University has little or no respect for employees. Everything you do requires you to go through miles of red tape.

The building I worked in was not great every where else on campus was wonderful.
Senior Food Service Assisant (Former Employee), Oxford, OH –
Pros: eat @ dining hall all u want $1.25, big buffet free food
Cons: excutive chef upset no breaks, big prep list no breaks
The hardest part of my job was learning to deal with fact that I had someone who despised me. For the first time in my 17 years of working I had never had that happen & they would never give me an actual reason. I was actually a cook who worked for 3 chefs. It was awesome when we had down time for them to be able to teach me different areas of cooking – more...  inwhich they all excelled. That is what I enjoyed the most. – less
