It was cool when I started. Some situations i was not used to, like the emergency calls, but you adapt afterwards over time. I was part time when I started, there were a lot of events workers could attend for free, so there were a lot of good stuff going on.

Some coworkers do tend to try to push you around, which can be very annoying : they have no idea the business and craziness of being a dispatcher. Calls after calls, radio responses, walk in customers, student emergencies, etc. With all that going on, the last thing I need is coworker who dont know how to dispatch to come in and try to tell you how to dispatch.

After coming full-time after a few years, it just felt like things gotten worse, probably due to pandemic.

Despite all mentioned, it was a pretty laid back job, especially during school breaks. I wouldn't reccommend night shift unless you're a night owl. Sleep schedule will get interrupted.

During my time there I had an ok time however I felt my supervisors had a strong habit of micromanaging everything through out my work day in addition to this there was tons of miscommunication along with multiple instances where they would call team members into the office for other team members actions and lack of communicating. This caused the workdays to become stressful and discouraging. I found it most difficult when being tasked to do things that were not in the work description. I would say this is a ok job for retiring but other than that I do not recommend. There are constant people watching over you and Complaining. further more breaks were never punctual they were constantly changing everyday. Some days would be 10am break some 2pm. within a 7-3pm shift. I felt there was no rewarding aspect to working here.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I am employed as a Standardized Patient at the College of Nursing. I help to train both the Nursing and NP students with their clinical skills. All of the students are extremely intelligent and focused on becoming excellent medical professionals. The faculty members are a pleasure to work with during the sessions. I highly recommend Florida Southern College as an institution of higher learning.


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing. FSC is easy to find and the staff members are a pleasure to work with.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Excellent. FSC truly cares about its students and employees. It offers an excellent education in a great environment.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Report to the Nursing College. Meet the faculty member. Conduct the clinical training session with the Nursing and NP students.

I loved being an RA at Florida Southern. I stayed in the position for three years, which is pretty much the maximum, and this was the longest I stayed in any position to this date. It was tough at first, but I got the hang of it over the years, and it was worth whatever drawbacks came with it. I learned and gained so much from the position. 

The most difficult thing was leaving. Florida Southern is a very sheltered and inhibiting environment, which I would later find out would make going out into the real world to be very difficult. If you don't want to be shackled down to the confines of the United Methodist-affiliated environment, you might have a hard time there.

Overall though, being an FSC RA was an unforgettable experience, and I attribute most of my current skill set, knowledge, and interests to this position.

The Wellness Center at Florida Southern was a great job, all the management was very helpful they would help you with anything you needed weather it was a simple question or running a research project. The opportunity for advancement was good as well, if you are a good employee then you can become a supervisor within a year and with that comes more money and more responsibility. They are also very flexible with schedule whether you want to work 40 hours a week or 15 hours a week and they also give you extra work opportunities if needed. The Wellness center was like a family everyone knew each other and helped each other even in other departments.

I worked in the server room with the networking guys. Defiantly conservative leaning (a la polk county).

The work culture right out of college was great for easing myself into a professional work environment, the projects I was assigned were interesting T-SQL LMS projects with a lot of freedom to explore the problem as I wanted.

The only real downsides are people watching videos without headphones on and the outdated cubicles.

Speaking as a former student most offices are either luxurious or run down (because it is a historical college so they can't renovate). Other employees tend to be kindly. Also an LGBT inclusive campus.

This role is intense and you are required to do a lot more than your daily responsibilities on a day to day. You are the face of the school whether at work or away, however, the management understands and offers flexibility for those that put their hard work into it. It is easy to get recognized and there is mobility. Travel is great but also intense, and there are a lot of weekends and nights you will need to give the job. As long as you are good with that, the job is great! 
Between departments, there is a lack of communication so the culture within your department is great but not outside. There is definitely a clear distinction between faculty benefits and those of the staff.

Athletics was one of the best work study options in my opinion. It had a great balance of school and work and provided many unique opportunities. I was able to network with many individuals and companies I would’ve otherwise never met or known. Lots of great events and great people to get to know. Good opportunity for advancement even if you’re not an intern. Started off as an event worker and quickly worked my way up to manager in my time. I stayed with athletics freshman through to senior year and only left because I graduated. I cannot recommend it enough. 

Security/Safety is great if you're a cop or retired cop. I was an 8 year supervisor , when the director retired. New Director comes in and puts my subordinates above me because they were friends and retired law enforcement. They all get raises and weekends off while I make the minimum and had a great work history. A new hire that's a former cop is treated like royalty while my boss states I'm untrained. Then they lie about you and fire you. It's all drama and backstabbing with lots of butt kissing fake people. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people. I genuinely look forward to going to work everyday. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I honestly do not feel stressed.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment in the Counseling Center is amazing. I can’t speak for every other department, but the counseling center is wonderful. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It’s busy, there are many students who are seeking help for various concerns. The population is really awesome and great to work with.
