Nice environment and open culture
Tutorial Assistant at Student Support Services (Former Employee), Office of Student Affairs – February 24, 2013
Pros: i could study when i had free times, easy to take over other students
Cons: no health or any benefits of any kind came with this job, also, no trs retirement savings came with it.
I tutored English, English Literature, Mathematics, Organic and Inorganic Chemistry as well as worked with first year pharmacy professional students on Pharmacy Calculations.
Typical day involves signing in where your subjects are listed and taking students needing help in understanding their topics or assignments and working to get them prepared for – more... these or future lessons.
I learned I really enjoyed working with students and that some students are really motivated to learn. Also some students would come in initially thinking that we can help complete their home works.
The hardest part of the job was being limited by my class schedule and having continuity with some of my students. The best part of the job was being able to break up lessons into defined bits and tackling them where the students can understand a small or basic concept at a time and they can work on assigned areas of deficiency before the next lesson. Seeing the students grasp a hard concept finally is its own reward. – less

peaceful, fast-paced, quiet, exciting place to work
Lab Assistant (Former Employee), Houston, TX – February 18, 2013
Pros: set schedule
Cons: management mistake came down on the associates
come in on time (8:00 A.M.), and open the computer lab.
As student come into the lab I greet them and ask them to present their school I.D., as proof of being a student at the school.
I am to assist the student in any way i can if they need help; usually technical support with the computer or their personal school account. I was also to maintain the – more... lab and keep it clean
The experience I had at Texas Southern really showed me how important helping others is, and how to present myself more professionally.
I learned a lot of these from some of my older, more mature co-workers who were also students. They were hard-working and encouraged me to continue on in such ways. Texas Southern University was an overall good learning experience for me – less

Great part-time job for a college student
Computer Lab Assistant (Former Employee), Houston, TX – January 16, 2013
Pros: flexible schedule, student environment, and family culture
Cons: maximum 20 hrs per week, no employee benefits
My typical day as a labtech consisted of opening the computer lab, turning on all computers, periodically checking e-mails for service request, and assisting students with general software queries. My direct supervisor was the School of Business Building Manager and IT Director. My additional responsibilities consisted of inspecting classroom/auditoriums – more... for defects, reporting facility maintenance issues and completing specific task (e.g. videoing meeting, photographing special events, event setup).

Administration and management exhibited a student centered and open communication style of leadership. This style of leadership allowed student employees to focus on their studies while maintaining a clear understanding of daily job assignments. I learned that in a flexible work environment that open communication is essential to being effective and productive.

I was apart of a four man labtech team that covered a ten hour lab schedule. Our schedules rarely overlapped. However, it was important that each of us stayed aware student and faculty request, daily events and shared task assigned by our supervisor. Many times you would have to complete a task started by another labtech. Open communication remained important because you may have to work someone else's shift or request them to work your shift.

My job as a labtech was virtually stress free. However, during exams, midterms and finals time management was essential to maintaining balance as a student and student employee. My job contributed greatly to building a student and professional networks. I was able to engage administration, faculty and staff in conversations that was enriching to my career development. – less

Fun place to work good work environment
Financial Aid Assistant (Current Employee), Houston, TX – December 26, 2012
Pros: flexible
Cons: no benefits
Once you clock in, file all incoming paperwork, assist students with financial aid documents. Report to supervisors for additional work. Hardest part of the job is when you do not know what certain paperwork is. The work environment is the most enjoyable part of the job.
