    Don't Work Here Unless You Absolutely Need To

    Mar 28, 2023 - Resident Assistant (RA) in Fayetteville, AR
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    On-campus housing paid for, meal plan paid for, small stipend, ability to work desk shifts for extra cash.

    Cons

    There is a high turnover rate because they know someone will always be enticed by their incentives but they offer nothing in return except for bad management. They will treat you like a full-time worker and always expect you be ready to do something even at 3am on a Tuesday night. There really is hardly any time when you feel relaxed. The people who run upper housing management are soulless and will do anything to get you to work more hours with no extra pay or benefits. Don't get roped into "volunteering" for more activities you won't be compensated for.

    Pros

    The Admin Specialist lll position definitely should be a stepping stone to higher paying jobs within the university. It’s much easier to get a job here if you already have a job here because there’s so much nuance and institutional knowledge that one needs to succeed here in most positions.

    Cons

    Low pay, major discrepancy in job duties depending on what unit/department you’re in
