student worker
Student worker (Former Employee), Martin, TN – May 3, 2013
Pros: i gained office experience and professionalism
Cons: very little hours
As being a Student worker you are responsible for whatever that particular department needed you to do. I ran errands, made copies, faxed papers, help proctor midterm and final exams, graded papers, answered phones, entered data into an excel spreadsheet, typed professional letters for department, and we even had to sit at the front desk to get the – more... experience of the department secretary. With this job I learned more on the office equipment and how to conduct myself in a more professional manner to others. My main co-worker were either other students and the professors that needed us for tasks. The hardest part was it was always crowded with other student workers, so felt like no personal space at all. The enjoyable part of the job was working and getting to know other the students and professors. – less

Great place to learn and further your education at the same time.
IT Analyst II (Former Employee), Knoxville, TN – April 30, 2013
I loved my manger. She was very knowledgeable about anything we worked with or if she didn't know she spent the time to learn it. She always looked out for each employee that was under her and helped push us to make ourselves better and to further our career. I really enjoyed learning and encoding in DARS. I felt what I did mattered and it was very – more... vital that all things be encoded by the guidelines, tested, and retested for accuracy. All my co-workers were wonderful to work with and very friendly. They would even go out of their way to assist in any way they could. – less

Felt right at home in the Division of Student Life at UT. I've learned a lot and been given a lot of responsibility in my role. I really appreciate the support from the administration and look forward to watching the University continue to move towards the Top 25.

Payrate is generally low compared to the private sector
Technical Specialist II (Current Employee), Knoxville, TN – December 19, 2012
Pros: adequate time off. vacation time, sick leave, etc.
Cons: management is seriously lacking, lots of wasteful policies, poor safety
The shop I work in is horribly ill equiped, as far as supplies of cutting tools ie., end mills, taps,etc. The shop supervisor doesn't practice or allow us to maintain a clean workspace. He regularly disregards and even ridicules many of our safety concerns. Surplus equipment, and useless junk regularly gets left in our workspace which has created a – more... very crowded and therefore unpleasant work area. – less

Senior Conference Specialist (Current Employee), Knoxville, TN – November 8, 2012
Pros: family atmosphere, excellent customer service, life balance
Cons: management, ever changing schedules
My favorite thing about working here is the "whatever it takes attitude. I really believe that clients of the UT Conference Center and UT Conferences cannot receive the level of customer service anywhere else. I have really learned what Customer Service is, and how to deliver it well.
