University of Maryland University College Employer Reviews

A typical work day means having to help out new students finding classrooms, books,& also helping the staff

I really enjoyed my time working at the University of Maryland.

The days varied between being extremely busy to being a calm day. I learned how to manage time and multitask; having to take phone calls and do research while engaging with the student enforced those skills.

Management did an mediocre job of staying in tune with the employees needs. There are several processes that are in place that could be redeveloped, – more...  removed and/or replaced. This would be a little more evident to upper management if they were a little more available.

Coworkers seemed to have a healthy competitive nature, as well as being helpful. Many times, we had to come together as a team to solve problems or complete tasks which was never an issue.

The most difficult part of the job was the actual stop payment process. This was difficult because there were several people involved, however, there was a lack of communication thus making it hard to keep track of the process.

The most enjoyable part of the job was when I was able to assist a student and settle their request in a timely fashion. This was very rewarding and quite request. – less

The hardest part of my job is management. The most enjoyable part of my job is what i enjoy doing coding, being able to work with physicians to accomplish a common goal and being appreciated for what you do.

This job had a great environment. Being a part of the team, a lot of tasks/duties are learned and it is also a fast paced job. It is great.

I'm having a lot of fun working this job. It is great to be involved with people on a daily basis and as a manager and personal trainer you definitely are. Sometimes, when the gym is slow, it is even possible to get some homework done. Although that happens rarely. All in all I like this job a lot and am happy that I can work so close to my classes.

Great place to work, fun work environment, family atmosphere, good people, no stress, rewarding. Flexible scheduling.

Professionalism was lack luster at best! There was no structure to the rhyme or rhythm of the construction of the contract/project. Management and training was a complete and utter disgrace as there was always a new project manager/supervisor every other month. Instructions were not clear as to what the employees were actually supposed to be working – more...  on leaving the client mystified as to what information needed to be checked, cross referenced and/or corrected. As a PROFESSIONAL who has worked on government contracts in the past, I have to say that the contructs of this project were, for lack of better words, a joke. The University of Maryland needs to stick to what it is known for, trying to educate people. – less
