Job security, however no advancement, no pay
Staff (Current Employee), Mobile, AL – January 12, 2013
Pros: job security, health insurance, tuition reimbursement
Cons: pay, staff shortage, tuition reimbursement, respect, degree snobbery
The one positive thing that can be said about positions at South Alabama is is that they provide job security. Staff are almost at poverty level and there is practically no room for advancement. The University expects their employees to have advanced degrees just to pay them $30,000 a year. It's laughable!!! Departments are short staffed and people – more... are having to do the work of several positions. But if you can find the time to go to school, the University will reimburse you for 'almost' 2 classes per semester. – less

terenalia – January 27, 2013

Organization sucks. Bunch of butt kissers, no respect for employees, low employee morale, and keeps butt kissers around to agitate good workers. God forbid anyone who works at this place. I did for 20 years, glad to have got my retirement and finally left......

Fun office environment with informative staff
Student Assistant (Former Employee), Mobile, AL – October 9, 2012
Pros: great people, good learning experiences
Cons: required hours to be limited
I was promoted to this position from a work-study position and it couldn't have been a bigger step up at the time. I learned so much more about the office and all of the duties of my boss who was assistant to the Dean of the college. Except for excessively busy times, there was no hard part of the job as I took to it easily. And the whole job was enjoyable!

If you can get in.
USA (Former Employee), where else is USA located??? – September 27, 2012
just like with all mobile, alabama jobs, you can't get in unless you know someone. They will also be the person to protect and cover for you when you mess up. you won't even get an opportunity and when you do, you have to kiss up. they will, however, hire international students and pay them little to nothing.

A basic easy job for a student looking for part time work
Student Assistant (Former Employee), Mobile, AL – June 29, 2012
Pros: easy, close to school
Cons: little pay or benefits
Working for your university is probably the best way to balance school and work. The pay is lousy and there are no benefits and advancement to speak of but you're literally right there at the school.
You get to see what the inner workings of the university are all about and having a job like this on your resume does help later on. Tasks range from answering – more... phones and typing letters, to delivering packages and proctoring exams. – less

terenalia – May 28, 2012

most positions that have higher pay are usually filled by outside applicants. inside applicants don't have the same oppty to be paid as well. organization plays favoritism when it comes to promotions from within and often run off really great employees who have worked hard at moving up, but in due time are struck down in morale. higher ups don't care about employees the way they should.
