Very Fun Place to Work With Great People.
IT HelpDesk Technician (Former Employee) – West Hartford, CT – November 2, 2018
Amazing place to work, even under a student employment environment. Co-workers were amazing, each being very well-versed in their respective departments. Being able to help out the university's community while being able to attend the college was a very fulfilling feeling. Pay was very good for what the job's responsibilities entitled, and at times, work didn't even feel like work.
Pros
Great Pay, Good Co-Workers
Cons
Bi-Weekly Pay

Research Assistant (Former Employee) – Storrs, CT – October 28, 2018

Great diversity!
University Assistant II (Former Employee) – Storrs, CT – October 19, 2018

Mixed Review for Adjunct Professors in the Arts and Sciences
Adjunct Faculty (Current Employee) – Storrs, CT – October 16, 2018
Though working as an adjunct professor and/or lecturer at the University of Connecticut is relatively easy/flexible and with some autonomy, the salary, or pay per course, renders the job a non-starter. As per the state of Connecticut law, adjuncts are only allowed to teach up to eight credit hours per semester; therefore, it is difficult to endorse working for the University of Connecticut in an adjunct/instructor professor role. Furthermore, it is unfortunate that UConn's graduate students (without a PhD) have a significantly better salary package (which includes health and dental benefits) than that of their Adjunct faculty.
Pros
Relative autonomy and decent support depending on department
Cons
Poor pay, difficult location
Tough place to work but amazing benefits
Laboratory Technician II (Former Employee) – Storrs, CT – October 13, 2018
Great benefits, good culture, diverse workplace. Everything that comes with working in academia, both the pros and cons. It has a very large main campus and several smaller satellite campuses.
Pros
Healthcare, retirement, paid vacation, diverse
Cons
Demanding and stressful at times
Resident Assistant
Resident Assistant (Former Employee) – Storrs, CT – October 8, 2018
Great job for students to have when you are considering just the benefits. Room and board was covered under the RA position which was a nice benefit to have, however, it did come at a sacrifice when it came to work life balance, however, if you enjoy helping people you will find joy in this job.

Project Manager (Current Employee) – Storrs, CT – October 1, 2018
Everybody has an issue with one another for no reason, just politics. Make certain to do your job, and stay focus on what you have to do. Every departments has their eyes on each others budget.
Student worker, good experience
Mailroom Assistant (Former Employee) – Storrs, CT – September 28, 2018

Computer Lab Assistant (Former Employee) – Storrs, CT – September 25, 2018

Office of Student Services (Current Employee) – Stamford, CT – September 18, 2018
Vibrant, diverse growing campus with lots to accomplish. Open to differences in thoughts and opinions. Small campus environment with lots of collaboration.

motivated and excited polymer chemist.
Graduate Research Assistant (Current Employee) – Storrs, CT – September 6, 2018
My typical day starts from 6am and sometimes runs to late night. Learnt quite a lot in polymer synthesis and characterization. Being a graduate research assistant my work requires personal will and focused to the task. The hardest part is during summer when the pay is not enough to cater for all the bills and at the same time you are required to work. The most exciting part is when you synthesize new functional materials.
competitive and wonderful

Director of Admissions and Recruitment (Former Employee) – Storrs, CT – August 21, 2018
A university that truly puts students first and understands that to meet that goal, you have to treat your employees well. UCONN is a family and if you are fortunate enough to get in, you are welcomed warmly.
