University of Arizona Employer Reviews

always something new to learn or do or even meet, had great experiences and wonderful co-workers

I really enjoyed working here seeing and helping returning customers day in and day out. Since it was such a small store I was taught to do just about everything. The hardest part, but definitely the part I took the most out of, was dealing with customer service. Medical Textbooks are not cheap, sometimes one is worth over one thousand dollars! Orders – more... went wrong at times since it's inevitable and fixing mistakes is where you learn not to make them. Management was new, so they were lenient though proficient. – less

Working for the University of Arizona was steady and reliable until our project's funding was not renewed

Very busy and exciting operation. Mass production. Time management. Highly skilled employees.

I had a positive experience at the University of Arizona. The faculty are dedicated to their research and there is a friendly work environment.

graduate study
famous and nice professors
learned lots of OR related technology
got excellent review for the thesis

Top notch research environment in multiple fields. As a student employee pay is livable and opportunity for learning is expansive. Classic university research environment with interdisciplinary projects and motivated faculty. If you can get a job in a lab as a student, do not hesitate to take the position. Your education will be dramatically strengthened.

Participating in the NSF GK-12 Fellowship has given me the opportunity to reach out to a diverse group of middle school students and encourage them to study in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields. I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in this program.

Because of this program, I have had the opportunity to work in two school – more... districts in the Tucson area where I have been able to give students an idea of what they have to look forward to at the university level.

Participation in this fellowship has taught me to articulate and explain scientific concepts to those who may not have a scientific background. This part of the experience has been invaluable and I am sure it will be a tremendous asset in the future. – less

Never a dull moment;students and faculty and other employees, always busy working with them to help graduate engineers.I learned what it was like where they came from and how to help students be mechanical and aerospace engineers.
Management seemed to change regularly.Many new ideas to improve programs,teaching aides and maintenance.
Co-workers came – more... and went.Many were students that graduated.Some regular employees retired.Some went to other departments.The hardest part was accruing more vacation time.Vacation time is really important time for families.The most enjoyable things were a happy student graduating to a good job and seeing team work being done to get projects done on time to do this. – less

As a java developer I am working on developing a software called "charaparser" for semantically parsing biological documents. It uses unsupervised machine learning algorithms which improves the accuracy of the software over time. I was lucky to work under a great mentor who opened a new areas of learning to me. Working here made me a good team player – more... and taught me how to bring out the synergy in the group. – less

I learned how to deal with customers on the phone and many other secretary jobs, such as, making copies handling computer softwares, and dealing with that one annoying guy, But it was a great learning experience and a wonderful working environment.

University of Arizona offered me a position that provided wonderful opportunities during my studies there.

Just a basic job while your in school. There was nothing going for this job.

I learned to complete many task and a short period.I learned how to work with different softwares such as powerpoint and microsoft.

• Assists faculty member with classroom instructions, exam proctoring, and grading.
• Mentor the students during office hours.

While initially supportive, there was no performance review at the end of the first year. At the end of the second year, my contract was not renewed. (I had been working in the field for 11 years prior to joining the university staff, with consistent positive performance reviews and significant pay increases.)

I would NEVER recommend working for the – more... specific department I was in. The management of the department was horrific and incompetent. – less

would love to work for u of a again as a professional (not a student employee)

Challenging but rewarding coursework and many research opportunities for undergraduates

Great learning experience growing tomatoes (TOV, Cherry, Beef), cucumbers, and bell peppers. Faculty is always around to answer questions.

It was a genuine delight to study that which interested me most, the Spanish language and chiefly, the literature. The diversity of students from all 50 states and many other countries and cultures made this experience valuable and memorable.
