University of Minnesota Employer Reviews

Worked in a supervisory position advising students on academic, social and personal matters
Maintained a working knowledge of campus policies and regulations, interpreting and/or enforcing them as necessary

The University of Minnesota is a great employer. It works hard to accurately prepare you for your job and make sure that it's students have access to the best instruction in Minnesota.

I worked in the ab for a year and never had any problems. they truly believe in hospitality. I learned to be independent, it was a well managed place.

I have spent my past five years of life with absolute pleasure at the university of Minnesota.

Typical TA job. Salary is low but benefits are great. I learned to teach using online tools (Moodle) and to lecture to 200+ students.

I was just an extern at the U of M. We started the day by cleaning and disinfecting the treatment areas. The students are still learning so they need a lot of help which is great if you are a busy body.

I enjoyed working in the Office of Information Technology. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with the staff that I supported everyday. I treated them like they were family and they treated me like part of the team. I loved doing all of the tasks listed below but I really loved learning about the Data Protection Team. The hardest part for – more... me has been saying good bye to those wonderful people.

great place to work. met a lot of nice, smart people. budgets cuts in the end were painful

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
