Excessive work, little pay
Supervisor-Tony Johnson (Former Employee), Memphis, TN – July 8, 2012
Everyday ended up carrying buckets from building to building even when a heat advisory was in effect. I actually didnt learn anything. It is the basics to cleaning a room/dorm. Management was hardly ever there. Co-workers were young and childish. Hardest part was carrying the buckets out in the heat. Most enjoyable part was getting off.

Other duties varied depending by supervisor but included editing and sending emails, – more... organizing faculty searches, filing invoices, and other general clerical tasks. The best part of the job was the friendly and supportive atmosphere, the hardest part was assisting upset students when classes were abruptly cancelled. – less
