Nice place to work as a student
Student worker (Former Employee), Macomb, IL –
That place allow me to meet people from different countries and cultures.
I used to work in the international stand, cooking pasta with different topics for the student.
This position was one of the busy position in the west dining room.

A terrible place to work and live
Assistant Professor (Former Employee), Macomb, Illinois –
Cons: too many to list
If you don't share in their military worldview, you won't like it here. The union is very weak in advocating for professors; in fact, many of the union reps become administrators. Word is that they throw the people they are suppose to represent under the bus in order to advance their own careers. The town of Macomb is the worst place I have lived. There – more...  is nothing to do but eat and drink. The housing situation is terrible. If you can find a home it may very well be substandard. There aren't many doctors in town, especially pediatrics. The businesses are always trying to scam you out of your money. Stay away if you can. – less

Insufficient Review
Peer Mentor (Former Employee), Macomb, Illinois –
Pros: being your own boss.
Cons: you are on your own.
I did not work at this place long enough to provide it a fair review. I was a Peer Mentor for one semester. Essentially, I was my own supervisor. The job was as good as I made it. So, I enjoyed it.
