Cohesive environment of knowledge and support
Lab Instructor, GEOG (Current Employee), Laramie, WY – April 1, 2013
I'm just a teaching assistant, so I can only speak to my experience. Very small department, hands-on, lots of help when needed, but with abundant freedom and trust.

A great job for college students, but not promising as a career

I enjoy my work, but do not feel valued by the University
Prefer to leave blank (Current Employee), Prefer to leave blank – November 26, 2012
Pros: i am on salary so set my own schedule
Cons: i am on salary so work 50+ hours most weeks with no compensation
I love the students I work with, and enjoy knowing I am helping them, but do not feel valued by the University, or my superiors. I get good reviews on my PEFs and have hundreds of hours of sick and vacation time accrued (proving my commitment to my job) but I have been here for many years, and my take home wages are less now than when I started.

Great opportunity for graduate students
Research Assistant (Current Employee), Laramie, WY – October 18, 2012
Pros: a lot of possibilities for experience
Cons: funding can be a problem
The small school provides much more contact with advisors but carries a lower chance of obtaining large number of publications.

As a graduate assistant in mechanical engineering students will work over 40 hours per week yet it is in the intrest of the graduate student.

Great Environment at 7200ft
Athletics Volunteer (Former Employee), Laramie, WY – September 13, 2012
I volunteered for basketball camps at the university. I learned that Wyoming has one of the largest girls camps in the nation. The management was great and so was the staff. The hardest part was running around all day long. The most enjoyable part of the job was knowing that you were promoting sport.

It was a great atmosphere and learnig experience. I had flexible hours to go around my studies. I could work at my own pace.
Lab Research Assistant (Former Employee), Laramie, WY – June 6, 2012
Pros: flexible hours
Cons: low wage
Great job for active students. I would come in between classes. In the beginning, it was monotonous data entry on Excel. The Excel database later was used with a Surfer program to create a map of te site. Later, certain data points were given symbols and plotted n map of the site. Finally, links for photos of the artifacts were inserted.

Multitude of opportunity in a multicultural envirnoment!
Most recent: PrePress Tech/Graphic Design (Former Employee), Laramie, WY – December 9, 2011
Pros: as state-funded has great benefits, rare overtime, compensation ok, multicultural environment
Cons: as state-ran sometimes not well-managed, not much room for advancement
Worked several jobs for this university both part-time while attending the college as well as full-time ones after. Benefit package was the best I've had anywhere. Each department has its own internal politics but same is true in businesses out there in the "real world" (outside academia). However, there's not much room for advancement due to these – more... same politics. Small town values, meet multicultural world views. – less
