Overall a great place to work

Greatest school in the world
Student - Tropical Marine Ecology Program (Former Employee), Oxford, OH – May 31, 2013
The Tropical Marine Ecology Program was a two-week study abroad program for the Oceanography Thematic Sequence; it was an exciting, fast-paced, highly-active program that taught us all about different ecosystems and how humans are more connected with the environment than I even realized; I have never learned so much and I can truly say my beliefs and – more... principles have changed dramatically and I have an even deeper love and consideration for animals and the natural environment – less

A work-study environment
Miami University IT Services Student Aide (Former Employee), Oxford, OH – October 2, 2012
I held a few positions through Miami University. I worked as a tutor for America Reads, student aide for IT services and a student aide for a research lab. Each of these jobs helped me excel and enhance my skills as well as learn new skills. Working for Miami University had the perfect benefit, classes always came first. This allowed for my hours to – more... be flexible. My co-workers were always other students at the university, so everyone was understanding of one another. The hardest part of working for the school was balancing class work and work. The most enjoyable part was being able to learn new things everyday at work. – less

Productive workplace with caring supervisors
Cook's Assistant (Former Employee), Oxford, OH – August 27, 2012
Pros: food allowances were great, i loved serving the wonderful students who came to eat there, they were the best part of my job, the production kitchen chefs were great to work for, my supervisor really dealt with employee issues fairly, the student employees were excellent to work with, hardworking and knowledgeable about helping keep things working smoothly in the kitchen, i loved that job because of the people i worked with
Cons: no health benefits. being laid off during the holidays.
I learned how to work with a variety of people who made going to work a good place to be. The management was excellent and it was a fast-paced work environment that required attention to customer service and the ability to cook and prepare food while staying on top of stocking food to the food stations.

Fantastic fun sociable learning environment
College Math Tutor (Former Employee), Middletown, OH – May 29, 2012
Great place to work during the school year; easy hours that work to my advantage and great associates and managers. My typical day would entail assisting students with a variety of mathematical topics, ranging from algebra or statistics to calculus; it would also entail opening up the Math Lab for the day. I was often the only one working in the Math – more... Lab at the time, my manager (a math teacher at the university) would be in class, and my co-workers would come in to relieve me after my shift was over. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to work on my own homework when I was not busty helping other students with theirs. The hardest part of the job would have to have been being unable to help students due to a lack of knowledge. – less

liked job just couldn't take third shift anymore
Operations (Former Employee), Oxford, OH – May 23, 2012
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

IQuit – July 19, 2012

I agree that most MU professors make terrible managers. All could benefit from some managerial training and heterosexual sensitivity training. For most of the top people, that place is their entire pathetic life since that is all that they possess. For me it was just another job.

Great atmosphere with lots of interactive opportunities
Teaching Assistant (Current Employee), Oxford, OH – May 8, 2012
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 – April 10, 2012
The University has little or no respect for employees. Everything you do requires you to go through miles of red tape.
