Very interesting work and tests
Head Lab Assistant (Former Employee), Boulder, CO – March 14, 2013
Build test structures in the lab that would then be tested in either the centrifuge of hydrolic presses. Learned to work with AutoCAD and Solidworks, also learned about mechanical drawings and building structures to spec. Management was great and co-workers are still some of my good friends, very relaxed atmosphere. Hardest part of the job was having – more... to deal with test failure. Most enjoyable part was watching a test work perfectly. – less

Do not work here
Professional Assistant (Former Employee), Denver, CO – March 6, 2013
This is not an institution that advocates higher education. Most of the executives in higher level positions were not educated at CU, nor do they advocate anyone that went to their school having a higher level position. I was a salaried employee expected to be on call 24/7, to come in at all hours, to perform tasks way above my skill level with little – more... to no recognition and absolutely no overtime. My direct supervisor repeatedly took credit for projects and ideas that I initially had, only to continually be verbally abused by that same person and eventually fired. I went in with a higher educational background then the majority of people in my department (Masters level education from a top tier school) whereas the majority of those in my department held B.A.'s from online universities and had never actually attended a brick and mortar institution. I was told on my first day of work that my colleague (hired at the same level) had never actually read an entire book.

What a disgrace to the State of Colorado. – less

Former employee (Former Employee), University of Colorado Denver Orthodontic office – January 18, 2013
Horrible experience working at the Orthodontic office poor management, The hardest part of the job is that you go above and beyond with co-workers and patients and still very unappreciated. The pay is horrible for what you do at this office. I would not recommend this to anyone. Turn over rate is bad....

Pharmacy Technician
Third year Student rotations (Former Employee), Aurora, CO – August 21, 2012
Pros: always busy, challenging, fun staff
Cons: poor management, limited flexability with work schedule
A typical work day was often busy and relatively challenging. The staff was helpful to work with as I was new to the pharmacy industry. I was able to learn brand vs. generic prescription drugs, answer general questions for the guests, and also generate labels for the pharmacist and patient.

Work as part time employee
Research Assistant (Current Employee), Boulder, CO – June 5, 2012
Pros: flexible hours, able to perform reseach which will be published
Cons: low compenation, don't fit into work environment
Working in a professor's labs with 15-20 graduate students and post-docs can be interesting. Because I work part-time, I am barely a part of the group and I've never really felt like I fit in completely.
My compensation is not very much per hour, and I usually try to work my other job as much as possible.
I do not get any benefits for working as a part – more... time research assistant. – less
