The University of Michigan Employer Reviews

a typical day at the University of Michigan hospital is great fours per day five days per-week.

My co-workers at work is okay sometimes they all have their ups and downs but they get along.

Great place to work, if you can get in.
There is a great opportunity to advance your career in this setting. Parking is expensive and can be a hassle at times, especially around the hospital and central campus. The campus bus is a great alternative for getting around campus.

A typical day at work consists of creating spreadsheets in excel, creating word documents, and handling all student affairs.

What I enjoy most about my current position is the opportunity to meet people from diverse cultures and personalities from all over the world. I love making the difference in someone's decision to go to college, and I enjoy giving students the tools to make an informed decision. Opening someone's eyes to higher education can help them to see that opportunities – more... for continued learning are everywhere. I love the feel of community from working at a university, where everyone is equally as excited, fast-paced, and motivated to lead and continue their professional development as I am. – less

Hardest part of job was working on the timing of entering rooms
Most enjoyable was getting to meet many people from all over

Enjoyed challenging work and professional growth opportunities.

My research interests focus on developing novel agents that can induce the generation of human fetal red blood cell from adult hematopoietic stem cells and progenitors by reprogramming developmental beta-type globin gene regulation. Such agents can be potentially applied to the treatment of the patients with beta-globin disorders such as sickle cell – more... disease and beta-thalassemia, which arise from congenital defects in production of the adult beta-chain of globin. Our laboratory has found nuclear receptor TR2/TR4 is a repressor of the human embryonic epsilon- and fetal gamma-globin genes, which I have recently shown to directly bind to their promoters in adult erythroid cells. This discovery generated expectations for development of molecular intervention therapy for sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia by exploiting a specific regulatory pathway: inhibiting the repressor activity of TR2/TR4 is predicted to increase gamma-globin synthesis with possibly fewer toxic side effects, and therefore may be much more effective in treating sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia. – less

I loved everything about here except for paying for parking. There are many resources for employees to benefit from. I enjoyed making new friends, the training classes, meeting new people, help those that needed it, and the management. What I did not like was paying for parking but it was ok besides that I can not think of to many negatives. This place – more... was the best place I have ever worked and concerned I will not find another place like this again. I have taken the office/clerical skills I learned from here and applied them to other employment. Nothing beats U of M. – less

It's a great place. I do enjoy study here. The education is perfect and the career service is effective

good learning experience and friendly working environment

A typical day involved many different types of responsibilities, including experiment procedures, mouse colony caretaking, overseeing undergraduate helpers etc. I loved my co-workers for the most part. One hard part of the job was coordinating everything to keep the day efficient. The most enjoyable part of the job was that it was interesting to learn, – more... and I like hands-on work. – less

Taubman Health Sciences Library is a great place to work. People here are very nice and friendly.

I enjoyed helping interpret from the speech therapist and the teacher to the parents in spanish, also the setting was relaxed.
this for the job I would like to do in the future

As the Vice President of the Supply Chain Association a typical day consited of interacting with Industry executives, senior staff at the University and coordinating with student members with regard to events, plant tours and informational speakers. This further developed my communication, negotiation, and project management skills. I worked with dedicated, – more... enthusiastic students, which was the most enjoyable part of my job. The hardest was scheduling. Given the already busy nature of a students schedule, between classes and work, alining events to ensure maximum attendance was challenging. Overall, this position helps further develop and challenge my organizational, communication and leadership skills. – less

Great opportunity to interact with the best of their field people
I appreciate the work environment and mean put to our use

Working at the University of Michigan for 18 years taught me many skills and processes which I will continue to grow and support a new company going forward.

Answered phones, wrote reports, ordered supplies, helped start up asthma program,

Learned a lot from the university, including hazmat, and OSHA regulations and how to clean and disinfect properly. great atmosphere and lots of fun!

An intellectually charged lab environment has made me learn a variety of technique and research methods. Great co-workers who provide great support and help.

nice working environment
easy to take bus to go there
the hardest part of the job is: there is not too much chance to learn stuff
