A typical day require me coming in at 8:30am and checking on the transactions which have been posted on the procurement cards. Moving on from there I run oracle reports so that we know where we are with expenditures, pay any outstanding invoices and generally provide service the entire center when managers or staff need assistance with any financial – more... situation. The hardest part of my job is getting all the managers and staff on the same page about current processes as they are always changing. Working with people is definitely the most fun part of my job this include staff and students alike.

The management team is amazing as they are always willing to talk to you and listen to any issues that you may be having. They also push you to do a lot of professional development which I think is great. Being innovative and always bettering yourself is something they tell us all the time in this way we can advance in our careers. – less

Two to three times a week batches of media and plates were created to keep up with the demand. The lab was also organized and kept sterile through ethanol washes. All the pipettes and gloves and other supplies had to be inconstant stock.

Diversity in culture, Challenging work given by professor's and fun with friends make this place so interesting.

You are paid nearly 30 percent more than similar jobs elsewhere (including benefits), so most people won't leave unless fired.

Exciting atmosphere due to students on campus and the learning / research environment.

Good Place to be at. My work as a lab assistant requires me to assist faculty members and students with any doubts or queries.

Work would involve, performing a certain tasks and reporting to the team lead every day. I learned how to use google web toolkit for web application development. Management was relatively new. Co workers were pretty friendly. The hardest part of the job was to learn a relatively new toolkit and trouble shoot when faced with errors. The most enjoyable – more... part of my job was to resolve all the errors by intensive research . – less

This was a position with great work-life balance and was a great environment with personable coworkers. As many higher ed positions can be, this is not a cut-throat environment and I enjoyed it. The earnings are less than you could earn elsewhere, but it's a trade-off for the non-monetary value.

Not a pleasant time working there.co-workers were very problematic.

I got to know about how bioplastics are made & what are the tests are performed on it to check their properties.
I also learned about the different processes like extrusion, blown film molding.
Hardest part was to make films and still producing no results, but professor always motivates us & try to be patient.

Learned a lot about managing classes. The investment in teachers is very high.

Working as a tutor helped me to reinforce my knowledge of accounting and finance course material while helping other students improve their understanding of these subjects. It was very satisfying to see students understand a concept which they were confused about after I had helped them.
