Penn State University Employer Reviews

Some of the worst benefits for a major university. I had a white-collar professional job with more than 60 hours per week and no benefits. No health insurance. Pay exceptionally low. Incredibly corrupt. They make you pay extra for a premium parking spot. Most employees have to ride a bus to work from their car. Most universities will provide you with – more...  tuition remission after three-to-six months. At Penn State, it's three years! Even then, you still have to pay a hefty chunk. The only thing leadership cares for is Penn State's image. Protecting Penn State's ballyhooed image is the only thing that matters. Athletics and the football program run the show. Did I mention corruption? – less

Bad place to work. Your are looked down upon when you work hard. Co-workers try to make you look bad so they look good.

learned about R programing, worked with Excel, analyzed data

This is a Work Study position until I complete my degree. The University works around my class schedule along with my family schedule.

The most popular and largest employer in the area. unmatched benefits. Very relaxed and casual atmosphere.

Major lack in structure, especially with management. Lack of communication throughout organization and especially through management chain.

Disconnect between business and support staff.

Learned a lot. Good amount of responsibility and accountability.

I had a great amount of challenging and enjoyable experiences working as a Graduate Research Assistant in the Chemistry Department. Unfortunately, I may have enjoyed my time too much and spent more time than necessary as a Grad Student.

Working with Penn State University put my mind at ease. I didnt have to worry about nothing its like I was living a dream.

Small town with excellent engineering school. Relatively close to Baltimore, NY, Pittsburgh. Allowed to park on campus on weekend (with permit) even during the game days Excellent nNanofab facility with helpful and knoledgeble staff

I worked with many different departments at the university. My entailed running JCL language based code on the universities main frame computer. It was 1 of a few jobs the university considers to be essential and required to be at work no matter what the weather turns. I regret ever leaving!
