Internship at University of Montana gained me entrance to data entry

Research Coordinator (Former Employee) – Missoula, MT – April 15, 2018

In my last semester of college, I had an opportunity to work with a professor in entering data for communication studies department to present to the faculty at the end of the semester. This was mainly an independent position for me to learn how to input data into excel and learn how to use statistics for this kind of work. While this was a refresher course for me, I had some challenges in gathering as much data as I can, and some of the data were difficult in knowing what the person wrote and what grade level they were in. Regardless, it was a great experience knowing how to data entry for a department.

Pros

Work with professor, independency

Cons

Temporary job

Part - Time Summer job

Help Desk Technician/Moodle Consultant (Former Employee) – Missoula, MT – March 14, 2018

Part time position at the helpdesk. Nothing very special, good relationships made, and connections made. No regrets, ignore the politics and bureaucratic environment of a public institution and you will have a good supplemental income.

relaxed and relatively laid back

Archaeologist (Current Employee) – Missoula, MT – March 7, 2018

No further advancement

Best College Job, Hands Down

Student Custodian (Former Employee) – Missoula, MT – October 19, 2017

I worked as a custodian at the University of Montana and it was the best work experience I've had so far. Managers are amazing and the team you work with are great. It's not difficult work and the hours are later which attracted me to the job in the first place. They are very understanding! As a college student, so many things come up and change and they were able to work with my schedule. I cannot express how much I wished I applied earlier.

Pros

Breaks, flexible scheduling, amazing coworkers and atmosphere

Cons

If you don't like to work evening/night shifts

Lack of pay and reward results in high turnover

Annual Giving Coordinator (Former Employee) – Missoula, MT – October 10, 2017

A great place to begin a career, however the pay was not worth the expected workload for employees in a highly competitive environment. Leadership is good, but the wage gap is excessive. Great place to learn, network and understand the inner workings of a University Foundation. Important, rewarding work.

Great Law/ Media Arts and Pharmacy Schools, Terrible University Administration

Adj. Faculty/ Program Coordinator/ Pro. Staff (Former Employee) – Missoula, MT – September 28, 2017

Many individual programs at the University of Montana are supportive and great places to work. The University as a whole does not value staff and treats them as disposable. When faced with millions of dollars in short fall the university cut 9 dollar and hour custodial jobs rather than look at bloated departments. One woman I supervised was told at a review for a raise that while she had more tasks to do than any one person could accomplish she was not being advanced because she did not have enough responsibilities. Her job is what it is and after fifteen years she was not promoted because of the wording of her job description.

Cons

The whole place is built on the value of faculty and administration over students and staff

An internship

IT Help Desk (Former Employee) – Missoula, MT – September 15, 2017

As an internship with the help desk, it was a very underwhelming place to work. The work was very slow and typically never challenging, and there was a lot of micromanaging.
