broaden my knowledge, error correction skill
Math's grader (Current Employee), College Station, TX – March 31, 2013
The most enjoyable part of this job was to bring the work home, so that i could work while i am at home. The hardest part of the job was to understand the work of students who are ill organized and poorly written handwriting. It was real easy for me to manage time as working hour was flexible.

Pros: the support of the whole office in my goal to graduate college

There is no job security. Very less pay comparable to other universities or departments.
Graduate Teaching Assistant / Research Assistant (Former Employee), Kingsville, TX – March 12, 2013
I personally felt that sometimes I was cornered for race, ethnicity and country. Anyways I was the most eligible guy for several jobs in my own department and everyone was sure I would get the job but I never did. not just one time for at least 4 times.

I have learned a lot but pay, stress, and lack of room to grow has me moving on.
Communications Specialist (Current Employee), Galveston, TX – March 7, 2013
Pros: great stepping stone.
Cons: low pay, high stress, no room for growth
My typical day at work begins with checking and updating social media. Then I work on tasks that consist of re-sizing a photo, downloading photos from the camera, fixing any errors detected on our website. I then go to lunch. After lunch I work on large projects (magazine layout, webdesign, graphic design work, etc.). Peppered throughout my week are – more... events that I need to take photos at.

I have learned office skills, CMS, CSS, and that Google helps with most anything else I run into that I am not knowledgeable in.

The management, while mostly helpful, tends to be unsteady at best.

I work very closely with my boss as we are only a two person department. It is emotionally stressful with only two people covering a whole campus.

I love when I am able to lose myself in a design. – less
