Excellent but underappreciated faculty
GTA (Former Employee), Jacksonville, FL – March 14, 2013
Pros: small community, excellent one-to-one comunication opportunities
Cons: unethical president who hires his own children (2 of them) to work in the university.
UNF attracts some excellent scholars, but rarely retains them; the current administration is less concerned with academic excellence and with a true learning experience than the bottom line and jobs for students.

Productive and fun workplace
Student Assistant (Former Employee), Jacksonville, FL – December 20, 2012
I learned some job functions pertaining to the medical field. I didn't only do clerical work, I was cross-trained to ensure I was able to perform other duties as needed. My co-workers were pleasant and easy to get along with. My job wasn't hard. I loved working with the people in my office. They made coming to work easy. Instead of waking up dreading – more... going into work, I was ready to go everyday. – less

decent place
Supervisor - moving team (Current Employee), jacksonville florida – September 16, 2012
Pros: 3 breaks as well as the benifets.
Cons: the pay
A typical day details moving office furniture, interracting with your customers as well as co workers, picking up litter around campus, closing out work orders, makimg sure evryone im responsible for has done there job. I have learned how to use a forklift, i have gotten better knowledge of the computer and better knowledge of how to be a supervisor. – more... My co workers are alright to deal with as well as my immediate boss is alright but his boss who we see on a regular basis is not somebody i like. I will do what he asks of me but i don't agree with some his tactics because he likes to spy on people but upper management agrees with and supports it which i don't agree with. The job really is not hard even know they keep adding more things for us to do but no more pay. I think the most enjoyable part of the job is interacting with people from all walks of life. – less

Excellent place to work or study
Physics Research Assistant/ Inorganic Chemist (Former Employee), Jacksonville, FL – September 6, 2012
Pros: free access to academic journal atricles, excellent co-workers
Cons: parking can get irritating, but it is a university.
The research done here is pretty awesome! The sciences all do very good work, and give the undergrads the opportunity to get a leg up in their academic careers.

Not much to say, everybody is pretty great!

Great if you're willing to settle for mediocre
Coordinator of Academic Support Services (Current Employee), Jacksonville, FL – September 4, 2012
UNF largely consists of mediocrity and empty promises. There is a lot of talk and little action. Like any university, it's filled with bureaucratic red-tape and excuses. Some people really love their jobs and excel in them, but the majority of people are inconvenienced by their positions and the people they are supposed to serve. Forget about a raise, – more... university employees haven't seen a raise in almost five years. – less

Fun quiet place to work
Staff Photographer (Current Employee), Jacksonville, Fl – April 11, 2012
Great place to work, relaxed, great environment.

In at 8am, no stress at all, do my work, get it done, do it well. Management did what they had to do but were not looking over my shoulder.

Co-workers kept to themselves but were a wealth of knowledge and helped me out tremendously.

The hardest part of my job was living on the low pay and on benefits, – more... but the type of work I was doing was enjoyable. – less
