Very tough to advance
Ice Rink Assistant (Former Employee), Notre Dame, IN – March 18, 2013
Pros: fun place to work
Cons: hard to make a living
I worked at the ice rink when it was in the JACC, since then the facility has moved to a stand alone building. I am not sure how the work conditions are there now but i am sure that there is still the problem of not much room for advancement within the facility.

An experience
Housekeeping (Former Employee), South Bend, IN – November 12, 2012
Day-to-day work was pretty normal and consisted of housekeeping duties for the students and staff.

I learned different techniques of cleaning the dorms and public areas.

Management never gave anyone a hard time. Everyone learned to work with each other to make things run smoothly.

The co-workers were pretty cool to work with, never really had a problem – more... with anyone.

There wasn't anything really hard about cleaning.

The most enjoyable part was getting to see our future athletes who will be coming out from this school and do something. – less

Beware the Golden tether
Laboratory Technician (Current Employee), Notre Dame, IN – October 21, 2012
Pros: ample vacation and holiday time, discounts to sporting events and at the bookstore.
Cons: "compassionate fascism", no reproductive health services covered by health care except for child birth, trapped audience at dining establishments on campus (stadium/airport pricing for fast food)
The university is a very pleseant place to work. One should be aware of th shortcomings, you will not be paid similar wages to private sector positions requiring similar skill levels, you will not have the opportunity of advancement you would in the private sector and you will be subject the the Universities moralistic philosophies in terms of benefits – more... and vacations.

The non-monetary benefits out way almost any shortcomings. Flexibility is fantastic in most departments. There are no less than 14 paid holidays that correspond to US federally recognized holidays and the Catholic celebrations. Employees start with 2 weeks of vacation in addition to that.

After you are vested in retirement and can take full advantage of the dependent education benefits, it is VERY hard to leave the University. – less

But, as for an hourly worker, you have to work for a full year from date of employment in order to get your first week of vacation, worked hours are allocated.

Athletic Department
Maintenance Worker (Former Employee), Notre Dame, IN – September 26, 2012
Pros: free athletic events, and clothes
Cons: university comes before home life and insufficient means of advancement
Working at Notre Dame has perks and excellent benefits. However some management should not be in the positions they are in and without a four year degree (undergrad) there is little to no hope for advancement

Find any other department to work in, rather than building services!
Building Services/Custodian (Current Employee), Notre Dame, IN – August 31, 2012
Pros: love the history and old buildings and students and professors.
Cons: certain supervisors talk rude about your own coworkers and other supervisors, security is always ticketing your vehicle, your always doing someone elses job that has been negelected even when they are presently there.
Far Too MANY issues going on in this department and certain supervisors and their peers are a big part of the problem. Very Low pay, insurance can very high especially if you have children. A lot goes on behind the scenes that would never be the public eye. Hourly workers have to just under a thousand dollars for football tickets if you want to go to – more... home games. Temps have been replacing full time workers for quite some time now ( Do the math). – less

Friendly and productive environment with a very flexible schedule.
Plate-up/breakdown (Current Employee), Notre Dame, IN – August 15, 2012
An on-call position where either I call my employer or the employer calls me to arrange the work schedule. Shifts can vary throughout the day and even the schedule can vary throughout the week. Even so, the routine is unchanging and predictable. During shifts, I and my coworkers arrange the work are, prepare the meals prior to the event, and break everything – more... down after it has concluded. – less

Love Thee Notre Dame
Monogram Club Intern (Current Employee), Notre Dame, IN – August 14, 2012
Pros: benefits, people, atmosphere
Cons: so many good people that often times i was not put in charge and i had to do tedious tasks.
I loved working at the University of Notre Dame. I grew up a big fan and being able to be a part of the behind the scenes things that go into athletics was a blast. I would have liked to apply for a full-time and larger pay job, but I got married and moved to Mississippi with my wife. She is about the only thing that is more important to me than working – more... there. It is my goal to one day go back to Notre Dame and work there again. I had an excellent experience and the people I worked with are the most professional and helpful people I could have met. – less

Notre Dame should be ashamed of pay scale
former hoosier (Former Employee), south bend indiana – June 29, 2012
Pros: beautiful campus
Cons: pay is for teenagers
Such a big University with major donations and monies given every year by past alumni.... This is such a shame they are paying 7.50 and $8-$9 an hour. Who can live off of this Notre Dame? Shame on you

Nice and relaxing installations
Associated research (Former Employee), South Bend, IN – June 25, 2012
The environment is very diverse depending on the department. Some are fun and nice, others are not. The good thing is that you can always go for a walk or to meditate in the surrounding areas and you have access to the gym, pool and other activities.
