University of Florida Employer Reviews

UF is a great place to work. I have a pretty full schedule, and there is always something to do. The hardest part of the job is dealing with the daily governmental red tape--everything must go through someone before you complete it.

I have worked in Higher Education for 15+ years and learned the Academic side of University life.

Workday started at 8:00A.M. By 8:05 the phone would start ringing. Physician's office wanting an authorization for an outpatient procedure and a return appointment. Inservices were regularly scheduled for further education. Management was not around much and only visited when it was time for the monthly meeting.My co-workers were just the best we worked – more...  as a team. The hardest part of the job was trying to please everyone, the most enjoyable part was of my job was making all my internal and external customers happy. – less

Clean and maintain classrooms, labs, offices and restrooms. when i finished my building i would go and help my co-workers to finish there work.

Located in a quiet small town and suitable for academic research. Has a good reputation on statistics and computational biochemistry.

Gainesville is an exceptional town full of great things to do. UF was great to me and took care of me.

Working for the University of Florida is a great way to learn what the leading minds in their respective fields are thinking.

For me, working on the forest research project is a great experience because it allows me to utilize some of the skills I learned in college and throughout my career as an environmental consultant in both north and south Florida.

The – more...  pay is decent, but below private industry, the benefits are better usually since it's a state job. All is all a positive experience. – less

UF "Bridges" Project Operations (probably renamed since then) is not an awful place to work for -- it's a government job, with only limited, clearly defined pressure. You have to be there very reliably and very on time, and quite reasonably, given the nature of the tasks involved. The people are largely very amiable to work with, competent at their – more...  jobs, and appreciative when you do good work.

Realize that initial hires often do fill-in 24/7 variable shift work, usually, though they try to schedule so transitions aren't brutal. – less

Work duties and position varies depending on what department/college that you work for.

This is a great place to work as an adjunct! The sailboats at the St.Petersburg location are so beautiful. The curriculum is established and well propared!

The lab facilities were adequate for a class of 15 but I sometimes had as many as 22 students. I was offered, and received, no training, so felt unprepared for my first semester. Curriculum was provided. Weekly 15 minute long meetings with head TA was the extent of the support provided for other TA's. Compensation was the bare minimum required for survival.

Dept of Emergency medicine; Very unprofessional administrative management; high turnover of administrative workers; retaliation for telling HR the truth. Terrible administrative supervisor allowed by upper management to harass employees.
