Wonderful place for student employment.
Bursar's Office Student Assistant (Current Employee), Lawrence, KS – April 7, 2012
In my job as student assistant, a typical day involves speaking to students and parents in person, over the phone, and via email about student accounts and other questions pertaining to student finances. I also scan and link documents using Image Now, and assist permanent staff with various projects. My supervisors are all very helpful and make it a – more... fun environment. I feel totally comfortable seeking their help if I have questions. I would say the hardest part of the job is dealing with students/parents who are very upset about their account. On the flip side, the most enjoyable part of this job is getting to talk to such a wide variety of people and helping them to understand how to navigate their accounts. – less

Good benefits. Nice atmosphere. No potential for advancement.
programmer (Current Employee), lawrence, kansas – February 24, 2012
Pros: nice university atmosphere, great benefits
Cons: no room for advancement, grant-funded jobs eventually end, and parking is horrible
Stable place to work, good benefits, nice working atmosphere. There is no room for advancement. Many jobs are grant-funded, so they last one or two years, and when they're over, you have to search for a new job within the university - and although your benefits stay with you, your salary starts over at the offered starting salary. You can never get – more... ahead financially. Add to that, the state has frozen salaries for several years now. And most jobs have no potential for any kind of advancement. There is no career path here. – less

Research Assistant and Teaching Assistant (Former Employee), Lawrence, KS, USA – March 4, 2013
Working as research assistance as a graduate student, I learned so many new research skills and knowledge in physics.
In teaching undergraduate physics laboratory course. I was in charge of 75 students per semester. Teaching materials are given by the school. I organized laboratory and grading homework. My co-workers were professors and other graduate – more... students. The hardest part of the job was to explain physical events in the laboratory to students logically. – less
