Life of a graduate student.
Graduate Student (Former Employee), New Haven, CT – June 10, 2013
Pros: being a student.
Cons: being a student.
Go to work. Code, write, calculate. Go home. Repeat.

I studied high energy physics, doing correlation studies on millions of heavy ion collision events, looking for proof of the QGP.

I worked under a very kind professor, and co-workers were all excellent. The greatest part of the job was the solitude, I was able to focus on what needed to be done.

My first paid research position
Clinical Research Assistant (Former Employee), New Haven, CT – May 23, 2013
Pros: academic setting, location, subject knowledge
Cons: absent manager, no formal training
Yale was an amazing place to work, considering the location and academic environment. I worked in a small research office, and I carved out my own job responsibilities. My predecessor left abruptly for med school and the doctor leading the way was new. He hadn't carved out research plans or metrics to be honest. He was working on his animal research – more... and I kept myself busy trying to organize any data available. I needed Yale to give me insight into what was lacking in coordinating research. Often I sat in on meetings with other department clinics, and I even taught myself the Internal Review Board submission and renewal process. Yale was the perfect stepping stone to Prometheus Research, who landed a major contract with the autism laboratory there. As an analyst at Prometheus doing requirements gathering in other research laboratories, I was able to quickly connect and identify my clients' needs. The latter skill has improved tenfold with experience. – less

Manager (Current Employee), Central Campus – April 22, 2013
Pros: decent work life balance and benefits
Cons: terrible managament of staff and support staff, can't speak for faculty
Can't speak for university as a whole as each dept. varies. Lot's of inflated egos who can do no wrong unfortunately.

Unless one is a brown noser and bows down to the inflated egos, your life will be miserable.

grounds and maintenance (Current Employee), New Haven, CT – April 11, 2013
Pros: befenfits.
Cons: management and how they treat poeple
I have worked here for some time now. I have seen my joy of going to work vanish. Bosses now will yell at you, belittle you in front of anyone. Management uses all types of intimidation. They don’t care about safety until someone gets hurt. You would think that a place like this would have a very high stander and would not treat people like they do. – more... Forget about HR they are no help. I watch a man loss a week of pay because a co-worker was harassing him. He reported it shop stewart, his boss, then to HR. HR then suspended both of them. Most co-workers are great but the best part of the day is when it is over, or weekends when management is not around. – less

Good place to work - hard to get in
Projectionist (Current Employee), New Haven, CT – March 23, 2013
Pros: the job is rewarding because i am an avid film lover
Cons: not enough hours
I am a casual part time worker. I work for the Film Study Center Department. I am responsible for preparing films and digital media for movie showings in coordination with classroom schedules. Next I operate the equipment and run the movies according to the schedules. I have two co-workers. One has taken a full time position doing the job I described – more... plus some other added responsibilities. My other co-worker is a casual part time worker like myself. – less

Wonderful University to work for
Administrative Assistant (Former Employee), New Haven, CT – March 5, 2013
Pros: loved this job, quite challenging at times. benefits were fabulous.
Cons: pay was low but benefits made up for it.
Busy day working for so many full-time professors and part-time professors, most were easy to get along with others very demanding. My co-workers worked with other professors but when needed, were very helpful and nice. The most enjoyable part of the job was knowing that my day was very productive.

Morgue Technician (Former Employee), New Haven, CT – February 11, 2013
Pros: great staff, learn a lot
Typical day includes paperwork and autopsies. Learned how to accession patients, assist with autopsies, clean and prepare instruments, etc. Management was great and helpful! Co-workers were fun and enjoyable. Hardest part was preparing all paperwork. Most enjoyable part was doing an autopsy and learning something new everyday.
