University of New Mexico Employer Reviews

Although my job was hectic at times, at the end of the day it was rewarding due to the fact that we were able to provide free health care to those who otherwise would not have any.

Working with kids everyday with fun and it was an awesome learning experience. Coworkers were awesome.

A typical day at work for me is I come in to work at 8:30 am and manager the students gym attendents. I have to handle any customer service issues or any accidents that may occur while I am at work. I have lunch around 1. After lunch I continue supervising while completing any other manegerial duties that are asked of me from my boss. Then I leave home – more... around 5:30 pm. – less

I like the fact that we had a rotating job every day. The pharmacists all always showing us new drugs about the new drugs.My co-workers are all wonderful and understanding. I enjoy helping the patients with their prescriptions and making sure they are happy.

Great time getting to know the staff, and other employees, you get to meet many students on campus, and I got to work on tons of homework in my down time

Access to collaboration via national labs make UNM a great place to obtain and study for a PhD.

This was a flexible position that provided exposure to teaching while I completed my degree.

In the core writing program, we teach a genre-based curriculum that builds versatile and transferable writing skills. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with students individually and witnessing their growth as writers and scholars.

85% of employees leave there jobs because of poor management. UNM is no exception and it is more of a problem because of the state employee attitude. They work for themselves and not the state. If you decide to work for UNM don't go outside your job description. It could show creativeness or ambition and in some cases the manager could force you out – more... through intimidation, slander or just plain being a bully. – less

This position is not a career choice, only a stepping stone to finish graduate school.

Collegial work enviroment, intellectually stimulating.

I worked here and was laid off by a corrupt political appointee (along with many others). UNM is not a secure place to work unless you are politically connected.

Overall, the administration is solid. Their health care and quality systems are excellent.

I learned alot about fixing the Planning and Campus Development website. I enjoyed every minute of this job. Management was great they have been their for a long time. So management knew what they wanted and needed to get done.

I work with the public and the APD, Sheriff Dept ,Security Dept Fire Dept Ems well also I would escort the couch and there team to the field and wait for them at the bottom floor # one job was the fans listen to what the wanted

I am a die hard Lobo fan so working for UNM athletics is like a dream job of mine. A typical day at work could vary. So far I have done field security, transported handicap and elderly fans from parking to the sport venues, parking attendant and assisted athletes. The hardest part of the job may be standing for 12 hours.

Working on campus while going to school was convienent, fun and helped me grow as a person. The skills I learned as a resident advisor for the dormitories are some I will carry for the rest of my life. I met the most amazing and unique people and learned who I really am.

Teach labs, grade exams, quizzes and labs. Meet with students, meet with teacher.

My experience at this university was very positive. As an undergraduate mechanical engineer, I especially enjoyed the research experience that I got working in the university's labs.

I would get into work at 8 am, if I had afternoon or morning classes I would go to class then come back to work til 6-7 PM to make up the hours missed for class. I learned the Banner Program, how to do minor accounting, inventory, and how to have fun in a stressful environment. I looked over an estimate of 23 instructors, sending them memos of upcoming – more... events, meetings, and procurement. My co-workers were all of the Arts & Letters Dept. consisting of 23 instructors and a Chair Person daily and with other departments and staff at least twice a week.
I the hardest part of the job was leaving.
the most enjoyable? all of it!! – less
