University of Minnesota Employer Reviews

it is a good university to learn stuff.
I like it.
But tuition increases every year.

Excellent job security but minimal opportunities for advancement within the organization.

The U of MN is an overall great place to work. I would recommend working at the U of MN to a friend. A typical day lasts from 8:00a.m. - 4:30p.m. for most administrative positions.

It was nice interacting with reseachers of different areas of expertise and work together to solve a complex problem.

Friendly colleagues. Productive work environment. Ambitious projects encouraged.

Flexible schedule. Bright, able co-workers. University campus environment with erudite faculty and eager students.

Learning a lot, and co-workers are helpful and friendly. A typical day involves a lot of data analysis, and working on writing a paper.

Team loyalty between every member on the hospital floor and their excellent delivery to each patient, including the doctors, medical students, house keeping, food dietary, nursing and nursing assistants.

Good opportunity for work with mid-level providers. Great patient interaction and hands on experience.

The U of M is a great company to work for I really enjoy some of the people I work with.

Great experience from professor, people are nice and the education was fantastic.

This group is I'll prepared and lacks any practical knowledge of Design & Construction. After interviewing here I couldn't get out of the department quick enough. The shear arrogance of the Director and her senior staff was only exceeded by the groups absence of two ounces of real experiences with real world projects. Clearly MN taxpayers are being – more... robbed by CPPM as everything and every project they "manage" cost 3 to 4 times more per square foot than any comparable project anywhere outside the U of MN system. Not one of these CPPM employees could get a job in the private sector. If you're looking to sit on your backside do nothing and waste more money on Capital projects, get a job with CPPM, – less

I went to the University of Minnesota and worked there after for 14 years. I am grateful for the high level of education I received there. I saw a lot of awe inspiring cases within the hospital and clinics. The work pace was very busy. but at the end of the day you felt good about your accomplishments to the hospital and the patient populations. I think – more... I learned something new daily and I was grateful. – less

Most of the day, I work and cover for TWO positions while my supervisor sits around. They leave whenever they want to, and they always give you projects they do not want to deal with; especially when it is their responsibility to do it. During every meeting, supervisors and managers would gossip and talk about other people from within and outside the – more... department (which is very unprofessional), a few flirt with the student assistants, there is no organization with the project managements. Supervisors and team managers slap projects to whoever they get a hold of, and there is no respect for 'under' staff members. I was told that they didn't want to pay me over time (even when I was eligible for overtime) so I was advised not to work overtime. Parking is awful, and there is a 3 year waiting list for contract parking (at least, that was what transportation informed me). Food is pretty expensive at the U, so you would want to get lunch somewhere else. There are plenty of HUGE cockroaches around the facility. Been working here for so long, and have not received any advancement in my position. HR seeks someone with a degree than someone with the EXPERIENCE, FYI. – less

This was a great place for many opportunities--academic, research, and extension/outreach.

Provide high-quality continuing education and lifelong learning opportunities for professional development, personal enrichment, career transitions, and academic growth.

Completed two BA degrees within 5 years. Professors were great. Great environment.

Good academic environment. Need to work very hard. The professors are very nice. But the school doesn't pay graduate student.

Overseeing sports events regarding transportation was fun and you'd get to go for free to the events. $50.00 per event was good pay for doing little, yet important work. Great company.

I am supposed to conduct labs for ECE Course 'Linear Systems and Signal Analysis'. I am also a Research Assistant where I am supposed to work on a project titled 'Design of a constant-voltage-source to array of sensors to optimize heart-beat detection'.
It is a good experience as conducting labs individually builds up your confidence. Also, being a – more... research assistant teaches you to be patient and develops a positive attitude.
The instructors are really helpful and give valuable suggestions.
The hardest part of the job is to manage time between study and work.
The most enjoyable part is that I get to interact with a lot of students. – less
