It can be a great place to work
Life Science Research Assistant (Former Employee), Stanford, CA – August 18, 2012
Pros: nice campus, good benefits
Cons: lower pay
I would assume the experience varies greatly with each lab. My lab was full of young professionals who also got their work done. Work life balance is what you want it to be. Pay is on the lower side (as oppose to industry) but good benefits.

Great workplace with great staff and team members.
Housekeeper (Current Employee), Stanford University in Stanford, California. – August 8, 2012
Pros: i have a great team that i loosely work with.
Cons: guests are sometimes surprised at my arrival and a little rude.
From day to day I start by getting my Housekeeping cart ready for the day, stocking full of amenities, sheets, blankets and towels.
From there I have a list of rooms requesting room service. Throughout the day I clean up in the rooms that have requested service and make the beds with new sheets and blankets.

A typical day at work consisted of constant interaction with fellow co-workers and outside customers. Although our department was exceptionally large management and co-workers made the environment comfortable and easy to maintain. Everything about this job I absolutely enjoyed.

Pros: the job and people you work with.

I loved working at Stanford University. I was an office assistant and absolutly loved it. The work was wonderful which was general office duties and much much more. I was also placed in charge of approving P-card purchases after about six months. The position only ended because it was a part time position that did not go permenent.
