Michigan State University Employer Reviews

I worked on campus while in school. They are great about making your own schedule and working with you when you have things come up.

MSU is a great place to work. My position was funded via a grant and the funding has ended.

Very friendly staff and fair employment policies.
I was an economics TA, and tutor. I also was hired on as a program assistant to do some basic accounting.

It was a great experience having a journalism internship. I was able to write stories and have them published in various newspapers throughout the state of Michigan. The class was fun an we had a chance to go to different orgainzations and do interviews to gain sources for our stories as well as weekly story ideas. We did a story every week.

Enjoyed everything about MSU. It was the best time of my life.

I don't know the benefits. The campus is very large. They have a major in packaging. They have a dairy store which sells cheese and ice cream made by the students.

Worked a variety of different jobs for Michigan State University that provided training in maintenance and security skills.

Loved working as the Secretary in the Housing Office . Student contact was great. Work was very enjoyable.

The best school in the United State of America by far. There are lots of opportunity to learn and grow in the field you want.

This is also a great place to work. You get to serve the elderly lunch and talk to them about the past and you will always learn new things from there experience.

Great place to work. So big that it lacks a sense of community in many ways, unless you're at a football or basketball game.

A strong team effort that was effective for youth and adults in animal science education. Developed useable tools and on the job experiences that better equipped my career goals.

Worked long hours outside always, in small and large groups of people, all of which were very nice and helpfull, able to be outdoors, working with birds.

It's a college job that pays for expenses that come up. Management is awful at Spartan Village, but the students make it enjoyable. They hire student managers from other MSU places. They don't make a good fit and it doesn't work.

MSU department of ECE is not very well-known from its ranking but if you are a stimulated student there are a great selection areas to work in with top world researchers on them in engineering, math, economy, biology, etc. If you are not that much into work, that's fine you can relax for some time, go on a trip or something. I prefer a normal unpressurized – more... environment and I think it might be even more productive. – less

A very relaxed work environment, helpful staff and a great place to learn about customer service.

A typical workday requires a great deal of time spent at the lab bench, along with collaboration of data and making future plans. I am managed by two immediate supervisors. The hardest part of my job is spending long hours in a lab working alone, but the rewards of the results always outweigh the negatives. The most enjoyable part is discussing results – more... and collaborating with tenured scientists in the field. – less

A typical day at work consists of signing out camera and lighting equipment to students, fixing any broken equipment, and helping students use the equipment and helping them edit projects.

-I helped to maintain the dorms on Michigan State University’s campus. I was expected to be able to perform my duties in a timely manner, correctly, and without supervision. I helped move and set up furniture, paint the dorms, clean hallways and clean rooms.

-For this position, I learned the importance of both team work and the ability to reach set – more... goals by working hard. I also learned the responsibility of being trusted to do tasks on my own. In this position, I learned skills quickly and how to do them well in order to perform them efficiently and in a timely fashion.

-My co-workers were other students from all backgrounds and I liked them very much.

-The hardest part of my job was the late nights and weird schedules that had to get worked in around my classes

-The most enjoyable part of my job was the people I worked with – less

I have been working at Michigan State University Department of Chemistry. The graduate program is challenging as it should be. I learned how to be an independent scientist but also as part of a team.
