University of Delaware Employer Reviews

It is a great place to work. I answered phones, filing, I learned how to prepare for annual audits. I also kept track of fuel receipts for university vehicles. Management was good. Co-workers were friendly. Everyone made me feel part of the team. The hardest part for me was minimal hours, and the most enjoyable was the flexibility in my schedule.

Hard back breaking work. Worked inbound and had the opportunity to receive boxes in as they come off the truck.

Prepped patients and also applied leads, while taking blood pressures before, during and after workouts, ran the stress test machine, responsible for opening and closing stress testing lab.

Worked on research on consumer economics. Use SAS to run econometric models to study consumer behavior.
The interesting thing is the opportunity it has offered to carry out very relevant and novel researches in the area of consumer economics.

Great colleageus, nice staff, good support from professors. You can be very productive in this research oriented environment.

A typical day would be working to meet deadlines which assisted me in my future positions. Great experiences.

working at UD is amazing, its fun being able to work at a place where you can relate to people. Dealing with students on a daily basis you become more friendly and loving. I learned how to make things work when when in tight jams. Currentgly I am a manager, working with different managers ive picked up different learning styles, working there managament – more... will always fight for you. – less

Being a research assistant is a very happy experience. I have learned a lot such as programming skills, system architecture, research methods, etc.

A good place to work.It would be better to have a degree if you work at the University. Obviously they value higher education

The sociopathic upper administration has hired their incompetent friends to key positions throughout. They will overlook more qualified internal candidates only to appoint friends who have no prior experience for position. Upper admin rewards themselves with high salaries, fancy offices (with six digit renovations) and bonuses while cutting hiring lines – more... and staff raises. Employees in mid-level management positions are spineless and terrified of losing their jobs. Upper admin's management style and employee reviews encourages a high degree of office politics and backstabbing. No job stability even for those who display a high degree of talent, creative thinking and experience. Academic departments are under a great deal of pressure to prove their worth and those that don't bring in notoriety or large grants are struggling. – less

I would help break down game film with the Graduate Assistants, as well as run the Offensive Scout Team during practice weeks. During camp, I would help the incoming Freshman Defensive Backs learn the playbook. I would coach them on the field, and hold extra meetings with them reviewing film and plays. On game day, I sat in the booth to keep track of – more... down and distance, personnel tendencies, and examine the Secondary. I learned that Coaching takes a lot of commitment. I understand the amount of time it takes to break down and study film. As a Coach, I've learned that you must not be complacent. When a coach becomes complacent with the teams accomplishments at practice or on game day, the players tend to put their efforts on cruise control. I always have extra time for a player when he wants to learn more. I learned that you grade the players performance, not the player himself. I am very knowledgable to the game and am able to understand different concepts of the defense. – less

The hardest part of the job is the travel. Didn't mind it before, but now I want something that will keep me closer to home more often.

I quit working at the University of Delaware because I couldn't deal with the work hours they were giving me plus going to school a few hours before .

Very good working environment and resource. Reasonable pay and nice people to work with.

Lot's of opportunities to participate and a broad selection of topics.

Though I was not given the time to learn my position I did enjoy the time I worked at University of Delaware and appreciated the opportunity.

Wonderful week to talk with industry people and graduate students with similar interests.

I love University of Delaware and it's really a good place for us to study and live

A typical day at work was cleaning the main common areas of the student housing units. I learned if your a good person to the students that they will be nice to you and respect you for who you are. The management was great when needed they would assist or find someone to help with the problem. Most of the coworkers were fun and friendly and very helpful. – more... The hardest part of the job was when in the summer your cleaning the student housing living units and several of the building had no air conditioning. The most enjoyable part of the job was getting hugs from students when they were leaving for the year showing they appreciated you for your work. – less

they give you all the help you need and they are straight to the point on what they need done.
