Student Worker - Student Worker Kansas State University Employee Review

Pros

You get to structure your schedule around your classes, and your managers/supervisors understand when you have tests or reviews. Some desk jobs allow you to study or do homework while at work. Overall general student employment is good for those looking for a few extra dollars and experience. However it would be hard to pay your way through college if you only worked through K-State.

Cons

Minimum wage pay for most entry positions. Hours are limited to 30 a week. Not a lot of room to increase position ranks, as many supervisors are grad students.

Pros

- fantastic leave! PTO, Sick, Holiday, maternity - amazing people and students. Ranked high for friendliest students for a reason - tuition assistance for one place semester if you're continuing education - once your foot is in the door, potential to use internal connection to move up within the university

Cons

- pay could be more competitive but makes up for it somewhat in leave - top heavy administration, former leadership made uprooting changes and didn't see the change through; left university scrambling - resistance to change causes siloes. - structural fiscal issues that doesn't work well for interdisciplinary, collaborative work - great coworkers move up the university or leave and don't stay long
