I love where im am doing research. Normally we read papers, listen to short presentations, and work on our research. Each contract requires me to prepare a 2-8 page paper to be published, a poster, two presentations, one in state and one out of state.

Helpful, large lab group that was very welcoming and easy to work with. Spent time working with several instruments analyzing samples.

The hardest part of the job is responding timely, accurately and adequately to the changing and unpredictable demands of the users and the network, whereas the most enjoyable part is coming up with ideas and thinking in a creative and critical way to solve problems which may arise. – less

The university has excellent resources and faculties to nurture any talent. The staff is very helpful and extremely resourceful.

My day was spent receiving, shipping, and/or distributing packages for the Biology dept. Among many other odd jobs, I managed student employees, balanced the dept budget, purchased for the labs, and managed inventory. I learned many professional and personal aspects through this job. The management was one of the only flaws. Very unorganized for such – more... a respectable institution. The co-workers were the great though. The hardest part of the job was the physical labor. But, I enjoyed the change of workload instead of a day to day routine. – less

Some departments are managed better than others - varies greatly (thereby rule-following varies greatly).

Health insurance is paid for the primary, discounted for the secondary.
Best part of the job is working on a fun college campus, lots of events and entertainment.

I loved working here. I miss it deeply. The atmosphere was stress free and my coworkers were outstanding.

Teaching my students was a pleasure, nice colleagues too. I was not too overloaded, and the work itself was generally enjoyable.

Typical day is working cashier during lunch rush and when that is over its time to stock and clean up.

No benefits for part time except food
Pay rate is min wage

Management was one good cop, one bad cop and the balance of the two keep things ok.
