University of Louisville Employer Reviews

Good post-doc experience, good financial support. Low cost of living.

As the Director of Programming a typical day at work included connecting with committee chairs and vice chairs, administrators of the Student Activities Office, and outside departments. My job was to make sure that everyone was on the same page and that event details were very well thought out and planned. I had a great team of committee chairs and – more... vice chairs. The hardest part of the job was getting across some of the most important parts of the committee chair and vice chair roles. The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing how much the chairs and vice chairs grew within the planning process of each event they put on. I learned that everyone has their own strengths and carries out their job in different ways. – less

The University of Louisville is top of the line. Recreational Sports is a department that puts the student's needs first and providces quality programs.

I was the Athletic Director for Development, in charge of fundraising for UofL Athletics. Annually, responsible for over $11 million in donations. Also responsible for raising additional funds for special projects, like new facilities and endowments. I directly reported to Tom Jurich and had a staff of 12 employees who worked for me.

Our staff was – more... responsible for all communications to over 10,000 Cardinal Athletic Fund members and new initiatives for raising additional dollars and recruiting new members. – less

I enjoyed working with the profesors. They were kind. I looked forward to going to work every day.

As a GTA I worked for an instructor over the regular semesters and taught my own courses over the summer. Over the regular semesters I had various responsibilities including meeting with students in the office and classroom, staying ahead of the course material, grading, collaborating with other GTAs, sometimes writing quizzes, calculating course grades, – more... doing other computer work, and other tasks set by the instructor. Over the summer it was all that plus designing a syllabus, writing all exams and projects, and much more teaching. The Mathematics department is very friendly and it is overall a low-pressure environment. The most enjoyable parts of the job are dealing with friendly students who want to learn, and spending time with other GTAs who support each other. The hardest parts of the job are dealing with problematic students and overcoming the stage fright many introverted mathematicians have. – less

On a typical workday we were constantly busy and there was such a variety of tasks that you were never bored.

working at st.mary was hard at times my days there where long and stressful because of the employees, it seem no one wanted to work together, too many young people with no respect.

I just enjoyed – more... taking patients their trays – less

Excellent support, salary, and overall management of employees.

UofL offers good job security and interesting research projects as well as the opportunity to take classes between your work schedule. Your advancement is dependent upon your degree, and the PhD faculty are plagued with the buddy-buddy review system. So, those who do great are rated the same as those who do average or poorly.

I enjoy my job, in that I get to meet new students and keep them safe and to their destination on time and in a safe manner,

My experience as an employee was great until I had problems with outside issues that occurred out of my control. I needed to be updated on University policies.
