Kennesaw State University Reviews

I have been working at Kennesaw State University part-time for more than 7 years

Pros – I was a part time bookstore textbook employee. Good people, the work is easy and the hours are flexible. The priority registration and staff parking are clutch.

I worked at Kennesaw State University as a contractor for more than a year

Pros – Hourly rate. Quality of students. A decent amount of autonomy. Management works hard to promote classes in the right ways.

Cons – Classes don't always make. Management can sometimes be a little hands-on in some issues regarding syllabus, despite my autonomy comment in the pros section. Nobody's perfect I guess.

Advice to Senior Management – Doing a good job overall. Need to look at ways to work with students' varying schedules.

I have been working at Kennesaw State University

Pros – I have an extremely flexible schedule that allows me to live a balanced life. I can telecommute and work on my degree that is paid as a benefit of full-time employment. There is a pleasant environment and many opportunities to grow and learn.

Cons – No one has gotten any raises at KSU in 5 years. They charge a great deal for parking and that amount is going up. There is little movement or promotion within your department. HR has too much control over employment issues. Only those who play the politics get ahead. No good deed results in promotion.

Advice to Senior Management – Reign in HR and start promoting people from within. To get ahead you have to leave your job and apply at some other post on campus. They list jobs and have no intention of hiring anyone and put people through interviews and place people they had in mind. It is a waste of time to put job seeker through this. I have applied for at least 30 jobs in my 6 years at KSU to just make more money and every one of the interviews...were a ruse.
