Great place to work. it's just a Difficult place to get hired or move into another department.

I started working here as an Administrative Assistant shortly after I obtained my bachelor's degree. A typical day at work was me filing, creating reports and delivering funds to our accounting department from investors for the real estate program. I learned a lot of what it takes to be successful from my manager. He really took me under his wing and – more... showed me how to conduct myself each and every day. My co-workers were very nice and they also showed me more so through their actions on how to remain professional. The hardest part of the job was that it was very tedious. The most enjoyable part was learning from the manager that I had. – less

My experience here was as a student, not as an employee. I received a great education at the engineering school. The staff there was excellent and very reachable.

I currently work for the University of Pennsylvania. I find it to be a very diverse community with plenty of room for opportunity.

Students are generally very motivated and competitive in their fields. The university strives for diversity and equality.

I LEARN TO MAKE THE STUDENTS HAPPY AND HELP TO THE MAXIMO EVERY DAY.

My job consists of identifying insects, sorting insects to family, acquiring tissue sample for DNA analysis, managing work study students and volunteers as well as handling any last minute issues. My job is very enjoyable and there are no difficult parts.

This was an interesting job. I didn't really like it because many of my co workers looked down on me because I was in high school. I learned lessons such as every work place wont be fun and everyone won't like you, but the hardest part would be taking blood from one building to another in the cold, rain, heat and snow.

I arrive at work approximately one and a half hours before my class. I teach an intensive Japanese language class so I teach the class everyday for two hours. I go over my schedule that I planned the day before and confirm I have all of the materials (handouts, props, copies) that I need. Next, I go over the lesson in more detail imagining myself teaching – more... specific grammar points while referring to my textbook and grammar packets. Then I confirm I have tomorrow's homework and today's graded homework prepped and ready to go. Finally I go to teach. Afterwards, most of the time students follow me to my office to discuss the lesson or any upcoming assessments. Then I check-in with my coordinator to discuss any issues that I need to address. Next, I begin to plan for my class the next day. I love my job and working with my students. I love the challenges it brings me and how it requires me to do my best every day. The most enjoyable part of my job is working with students and the material. I learn something new every day and have a positive interaction every day. – less

Work as a research coordinator is very involved and can be stressful when research assistants are not available. All studies require constant and strict monitoring of study participants and their progress. It also must be ensured that subjects are compliant with study instructions. This can take the bulk of an 8 hour work day, leaving little time for – more... other tasks such as recruitment. The hardest part of the job is often dealing with regulatory bodies and statutes. The most enjoyable part of the job is the direct contact with study subjects. – less
