Skidmore College Employee Reviews about "minimum wage"

Lots of options for work - if you want a job you can get one. Loved working in the library, and some other departments on campus. Dining services is rough and everyone is required to work there the first year.

Minimum wage, lots of variation for different jobs (even within one department). Luck drives most of how you'll like your job.

Pros

I get to work on my own hours and it's great

Cons

It's not NYS minimum wage

Pros

I enjoyed the atmosphere of being at the sports games. I also enjoyed the fellow employees.

Cons

I was only being paid minimum wage.

Pros

Super easy job, great boss (sweet, chatty) working for fantastic professors who usually ask very little of student employees- looks good on a resume, particularly the administrative duties. Hours are very flexible and tailored to your schedule- once you get this job, you have it for the rest of your time as a student unless you really mess up.

Cons

Pretty low pay for students, minimum wage, but if you're just looking for spending money it isn't too bad. Can be a bit boring if you don't have any work to do to fill your time, but I usually have a great amount that I have to get done so I'm never unoccupied.
