Pros – Great quality of life, can have a decent life style with low living expenses, good salary benefits and awesome people.

Pros – Office is really laid back, everyone is nice and friendly. They normally don't fire anyone, don't have to worry about job security. Never late on paycheck.

Cons – The wage is relatively low compared to similar jobs at corporate employers, maybe because University's funding is quite limited.
A lot of people working here would eventually choose to retire here, so promotion opportunities are limited.

Advice to Senior Management – Please increase salary and consider bonus incentive.

Current Employee – been working at University of Utah full-time for more than 3 years

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

Pros – Beautiful work environment (landscape) and infrastructure
Generally nice co-workers and community

Cons – Little to no explanation of expectations and regular duties, excessive hours worked due to mismanagement from senior personnel, lack of respect, unmotivated students with a lack of respect of the rules of college (I have to work excuse over and over), no care or enforcement of widespread cheating. Being a TA for 4 different classes in 4 semesters is counter-productive.

Advice to Senior Management – Recognize that when you have a huge increase in enrollment, you should hire more help and not overload and underpay your teaching assistants. Give teaching assistants clear directions and outline your expectations. Don't ask your TAs to reinvent the wheel for an assignment. College should be tough and there are no good excuses for not doing work unless of family emergencies, but for some reason at the University of Utah, they bend over backward for second-rate work and will allow anything to be late. Lastly, although it's OK to work together on assignments and projects, carbon copies = cheating (especially when you're not even close to correct). I was a TA for 4 different classes in 4 semesters even though I was told I was a great help; this is counter-productive and too much effort for trying to take classes and find/create/finish a thesis project all at once.
