University of Georgia Employer Reviews

As a graduate student, a lot of time is spent in the lab working on ones research. However, being able to work on a project that you can be passionate about is key. I have gained a lot of experience working in the UGA Food Science Extension Program as I have been able to work with many food science and service business within Georgia. I have created – more... nutrition facts panels for their products and analyzed the safety of the product's manufacturing processes. – less

A great place to work. Teaching how to work with different types of individual, and be creative.

It gave me and a lot of diverse and dinamic working atmosphere

I learned a great deal during my internship at WUGA. I assisted the Operations manager with daily tasks of editing shows, prepping music, recording PSAs and using Audio Vault software. It was a very small office so it was very easy to get to know everyone. My favorite part was hearing my voice on the radio!

UGA is an overall good working environment. I have enjoyed working at UGA for the past 6 years; however, I would really enjoy moving towards utilizing my masters degree, upon completion.

Really it was my first job and I loved it. It was a good job and I got to help further research. It taught me what would be expected of me in a job setting and helped me grow up.

must be able to multi task. specialize in project management and data collection databases. keep abreast of government regulations and standards.

Interesting working atmosphere, most days are very slow and quiet. I am usually the only one at the office. I have gained valuable knowledge that will assist me through out my career. The management is wonderful, but the co-workers are the most irresponsible and inconsiderate of others. Their work ethics are very poor.

Structured environment
Policies and Procedures are adhered to
Upward mobility available
Great benefits
Family flexible
Committed to employees
Job security

Working at UGA ?

. lots of down time.Its a state job so don't try hard it will make others look bad and they will hold it against you.

(the cast system is in effect)

The professors look down their noses at the lesser faculty. The senior employees look down at the hourly employees and do their best to make you feel like you know your place.

they – more... have special meetings and events just for the "special people". and they love to use temps and student labor to cut costs by avoiding overtime.

the benefits are pretty good but they dwindled in the three years i was their.

Pay is not equal to what the public sector will pay.

great vacation time

dont expect to get tickets to the football games. the wait is several years (unless your somebody special).

the Ramsey Center is the best benefit you get.

Parking is terrible! traffic can be a monster.

I would not work their again. – less

Its challenging to teach the next generation and influence them towards Computer Science

A typical day at work involved the evaluation of numerous student essay samples from Georgia's state mandated standardized assessments. Evaluation of these essays was very smoothly run, as the management that oversees and facilitates this operation is extremely well run and organized. The management and coworkers were both a pleasure to work with. The – more... hardest part of the job was meeting the accuracy demands that were required in the evaluation of these essays; however, with such supportive and helpful supervisors this was a challenge that was easily overcome. While being able to read the student work was quite entertaining and enjoyable, working with such a great staff was also a very enjoyable aspect of the position as well. This position was overall a great experience. – less

Interesting doctoral assistantship/internship. I'm not always sure that I fit-in with what was needed based on my educational background and interest in social justice. However, I am glad I had the experience for 14 months.

Good research leaders and facilities.
Supervisors provided essential insight and advice when needed.
Supervisors always made themselves available.
Learned many valuable skills not just in microbiology, but also in leadership, ethics, people skills, supervising oneself.
Gained experience liaising with multiple departments.
Gained much more experience – more... in bacterial molecular techniques.
Gained experience in analyzing and disseminating data to multiple departments.
was able to supervise myself in the conduction of work.
Gained more experience training students in microbiological techniques dealing with pathogens.
Long tedious assays were hardest part.
Most enjoyable when assays worked out and the job was a combination of field and lab work. – less

Not a job! A lifestyle with young, smart women. Excellent life!

I have the priviledge to work at an outstanding research Institute on campus called the Institute of Health Management and Mass Destruction Defense (IHMD). The staff maintain a friendly professionalism and various points of view are discussed and encouraged. I cannot speak for the University as a whole but this Institute must stand a cut above the rest. – more... They are a fine team and I look forward to working with them in the future. – less

This is a job you can only get if you know someone currently working ath the library. Good pay for the amount of work and people willing to work with your schedule.

I launched my career working for UGA many years ago. Good people who would take the time to share knowledge and experience.

However, very easy to get lost in the behemoth..

Very supportive work environment at the University in a support position. You work with a dedicated staff and appreciative managers who understand the down sides the issues faced every day. It has been an uplifting experience to be able to have this wonderful job to fill my days. I would reccommend anyone in need of work consider applying here and ecourage – more... them to learn their positions before passing jugement on the job itself. There is a wealth of benefits in working here. – less
