West Hartford, CT

Former Employee – worked at University of Connecticut part-time for more than a year

ProsSmart, hard working people that didn't let you (or at least me...) feel lost despite UConn's sprawling size. A chance to learn a lot if you're open to it.

ConsI'd imagine the experience varies greatly depending on where you work - if your department is good, your experience will likely be good.

Advice to Senior ManagementProvide some additional support to the satellite campuses - it shouldn't be just be Storrs that gets funding dollars.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Storrs, CT

Current Employee – been working at University of Connecticut full-time for more than a year

ProsGood healthcare insurance offered, subsidized by the state. Good research facilities and faculty members.

ConsThe university charges very high student fees and there is not a lot of things to do around campus. Graduate students are not treated very well and a lot of administrative duties are late (i.e. summer pay).
