My typical day was that of any football coach. I enjoyed my position and co-workers. I wish were more successful.

Everything about this job was amazing. I loved working with the professors. The management was awesome and you could work without being watched like a hawk.

A typical day at work would be for me to sign in, then check with my supervisior and see if she had any work for me, if not then I would go to everybody's office checking if they needed any errans ran. I learned how to file papers, how to stuff envolopes, how to handle parents via person and phone. The management was very good, my supervisior and others – more... in higher power always made sure I was doing my job right and made sure I did not slack off. My co-workers were very easy to get along with and fun to work with. I wouldn't say there was a hard part of the job everything was pretty simple. The most enjoyable part of the job would have to be the walks across campus to deliver documents to other buildings. – less

Management was great! They wanted you to work around your school schedule which was great while in college.

I work at the University of Akron Support Desk since 2009 and I have worked on software related issues on Windows, MacOS, and Linux machines. I have worked hands-on and over the phone with student, faculty, and staff machines in the walk-in and call center. The work environment is great. Most of my co-workers are undergraduate students and it is easy – more... to communicate with them. The management is excellent. The employees have to document ever machine touched and ever call answered. The hardest part would be to answer some problems over the phone, for example if the on-campus wireless is not connecting. I enjoy working working their because i have learned a lot. I have learned how to operate the MacOS and Linux OS and have learned to troubleshoot issue on the operating systems, including Windows. – less
