Cons

The regulations (like safety issues) have been changing for several times since I work here. The instructor isnt knowledgeable sometimes.

Pros

They are very lenient with needing time off. At time I would need some time off to deal with school or just personal reasons they would nice enough to let me take the time I need.

Cons

You have to be very careful with how you approach the senior employees. Sometimes they will snap at you if you get in their way.

Advice to Senior Management

Be on your toes at all time. The environment changes very quickly and you need to be able to handle whatever the job throws at you.

Pros

There is alot of flexability in work schedules. The people you work with are very helpful and you can expect a comfortable work setting.

Not much chance for advancement. I am only a tutor so I cant go much farther up. I am just filling this ou to be a member.

The leadership has not really affected me as a tutor. The University has been very professional to in my experiences.

Pros

$10/hr
Choose your own hours, no matter how few
Flexible boss
Often can use working hours to do homework
Tutoring helps you really learn your stuff

Cons

No potential for promotion
Sometimes frustrating to work with students

Pros

The work is very easy. The scheduling is pretty flexible since its split among the other staff. The environment is friendly.

Cons

The work is very easy. The pay is only minimum wage since it is work study. Also, no room for advancement.

Advice to Senior Management

In my experience, the management did a good job. No major complaints really. There could be some improvements in the daily business processes, but other than that, all was well.

Pros

free tuition; fairly safe environment (although robberies have been going up in recent weeks); lots of free events on campus

Cons

very close minded environment; not strong management in leadership positions i have encountered; very opposed or slow to change or proress

Advice to Senior Management

be willing to listen to and accept feedback; better supervision for apprenticeships; more accountability for senior leadership positions; increase diversity

Pros

Baylor is a name that is well recognized in many academic communities and is a place you can be proud to be associated with.

Cons

The pay is always lower than in comparable positions at other universities. The Christian atmosphere can be oppressive at some point. Meaningless prayers abound as a symbol of piety. Often this doesn't square with managerial actions/decisions and policies

Pros

Baylor is a great school. I believe it is one that truly cares. Recently advances have been made to better compensate graduate students and bring incentives up to par.

Cons

As a graduate student you sometimes treated as a child by the university. The belief that your situation is similar to that of an undergraduate and that you need constant supervision prevails.

Advice to Senior Management

Understand that graduate students are adults and can make decisions concerning their (and families) health care and financial situation without first consulting the school.

Pros

Great Team work
Great support from managment
Education opportunities

Cons

Benefits aren't as good as other hospitals.

Advice to Senior Management

Allow other ancillary positions the ability to advance their careers and not just RN's.
