Farmingdale-State-College

A typical day at work at the Psychology Department at Farmingdale State College is both friendly and a very good learning experience. Being a psychology major, I am able to communicate well with all of my professors as well as my co-workers, who are psychology students as well. I've learned so much from all of the staff here and I'm beyond grateful for my position as a work study. I've never had experience with answering phones before and taking messages and this job experience gave me that opportunity to open up more. The hardest part of my job was honestly saying goodbye. These people have been my family for the past two years and before I started as a work study here I can honestly say that I struggled with my grades. I was able to pick up my GPA from a 2.9 to a 3.5 because of the help and assistance I received here. They made my learning experience and college experience better than I could ever imagine and helped me pick the direction in life that I truly want.

Working at the university, and with the Renewable Energy Center, was a great opportunity to learn about the logistics and growing industry of renewable energies, and inform FSC students, community members, and the world alike about such an important industry. However, the job was often stressful and the work environment was less than ideal, sometimes even hostile. My responsibilities on specific projects were often unclear, organization was lacking, and I was often given tasks beyond my professional abilities and duties. It was therefore impossible for me to continue working there. The stress and unclear instructions were affecting my health. I wish the RESC and FSC all success in the future, but I strongly suggest that a management evaluation is in order. 

I would really give 2 and a half stars if I could. It's just barely alright. Obviously, you're very busy during the warmer months and you feel very productive. Then once winter rolls around, it's nothing but days of pointless busy work. You will be made to stay days on end cleaning campus during a snowstorm with poorly maintained and inadequate equipment. I do not recommend this for anyone not willing to stay at their job for more than 24 hours. 

Management is incompetent and barely makes itself known, let alone leads. Morale is low and there's much negativity. Pay is mediocre, but good enough.

Benefits are fantastic. Great medical plans, lots of holidays and plenty of paid sick days/vacation. 

As a previous employee at Farmingdale State College, I found the work environment to be positive and supportive. The management was approachable and provided opportunities for growth, and the culture was collaborative and inclusive. Compensation and benefits were reasonable, though there could have been more room for advancement in certain areas. Overall, it was a stable and rewarding place to work, though some departments could benefit from clearer career progression paths.

i file papers, print transcripts, make graduation folders, delivers mails and other informational papers . workplace helped me be more organized and it also helped me gain confident because at first i was afraid to talk to other students but now i can answer most of their question, i enjoy working there because of my co-workers, they were really helpful when i first started. I also work in the computer lab where my job is to monitor and make sure every students is signing in once they arrive in  the lab and signing out when they leave.

My day can consist of many different tasks such as upgrading switches, patching in and configuring ports, delivering and installing equipment in data closets, etc. I have learned a lot of what it takes to run a major company with many users with specific needs.My co-workers are nice and laid back people. the hardest part about the job is running into unexpected issues that can take a long time to fix. The most enjoyable part of the job is working in the field that enjoy the most.

Farmingdale State College is a great place to work if you are building flight time and experience to progress in a piloting career. My mind has changed about wanting to further a piloting career so the job itself is no longer along the lines of what I want to be doing. It is a great place to work with great equipment, state benefits, and a very enthusiastic flight instructor staff who prides ourselves on doing the best job we can as safely and efficiently as possible.

Multiple responsibilities with low pay.  Health Benefits are great for those somewhat older.  Fleet of aircraft very well maintained.  Management is bureaucratic and toxic to staff they preside over.  Self-image of school is top priority, not the welfare of employees.  Better learning environment than work environment.  High Standards, high expectations, high scrutiny.

Working here at the helpdesk i have learned many things about the IT industry. I have also learned how to deal with all types of people, some of which that are very technically incompetent. This was the hardest part of the job. This has helped improved my patience for people when trying to convey solutions to them for their computer problems. Management was always very understanding when it came to the hours that we worked and what we had to do for the day.

I got hired right out of graduating college and I am so happy the department took a chance on me. I work with amazing people and the students every semester always teach me knew things and are a pleasure to work with. I have been teaching in the Psychology department for almost 3.5 years and they are now stuck with me. I feel like I won the lottery with the people I work with and my chairperson and their assistant. The amount of support given to the adjunct staff along with the full time faculty is above and beyond.
