Being a referee is a challenging, and sometimes thankless, job but the management is well aware and does well to counter this.
Intramural Football Referee (Former Employee), Tuscaloosa, AL – May 22, 2013
Pros: flexible scheduling
Cons: dealing with players with poor sportsmanship
The job could be challenging at times, but those in charge were very patient and understanding, as being a referee is not an exact science. They teach you step by step everything you need to know to perform well. The scheduling is the most flexible I have ever seen. Management steps in when players get out of control, usually after a call the player – more... disagrees with. – less

Nice place to work.
Tutor (Former Employee), Tuscaloosa, AL – May 7, 2013
Nice place to work. Easy schedule at the CAS. Hourly wage isn't great, but you have quite a few no-shows, so you can study while being paid a little.

Work enviornment depends...Pay is awful
Office Associate II (Current Employee), Tuscaloosa – February 27, 2013
Pros: job security. after 6 month trial period, it is almost impossible to get fired.
Cons: pay and insurance benefits and you have to pay to park.
I work at the main campus as an Office Associate. The pay is awful. You have to pay to park. Retirement is good but they take out 7.5% of your already low salary. Prescription drugs are expensive.

It depends who you work for and in what department for your work enviornment. Some professors can be very cruel. Think Sheldon Cooper. However, some professors – more... can be wonderful to work for. – less

This is a very fun place to work!
Stock Room Assistant (Current Employee), Tuscaloosa, AL – January 22, 2013
Working in the stockroom is very enjoyable. The most enjoyable part is the fact that I'm able to meet new people everyday. My co-workers are also very sweet people. I feel like my supervisor has a very open relationship with her employees and insures us that we can talk to her about anything.

Enjoyed the inclusion of your nursing skills and policy making decisions.
Registered Nurse (Former Employee), Birmingham, AL – August 4, 2012
Pros: working flexible shifts, free lunch inservices, and evolving in my career.
Cons: offering classes to help disable nurses to evolve in another area of healthcare.
Direct Patient care on Trauma/Burns unit monitoring outcomes and discharge for home care with medication teaching and dressing of wounds. I also had the opportunity to work with grants and several research projects being a liason for human service agencies. With co-workers it was a pleasure to both teach, learn, supervise each other and set a new pace – more... for others. The hardest part of my job was knowing if I did all that was necessary to give my patient top quality care to produce the best outcomes. I enjoyed my job because I believed in investing life into the lives of all I encountered no matter patient, co-worker or other departments within the realm where I worked. I have always enjoyed helping people. – less
