A typical day would begin with looking in the IN box for all of the professors job orders.  If there were any orders you will need to see the deadline of each work order.  I began with the most needed and go through to the end. A lot of times I would have the professors orders ready way before time and they were highly pleased.  The environment was always a bit tight. The management was kind of unprofessional.  The two executive assistance to the Dean would have me personally run their personal errands instead of keeping me in the office where I was supposed to stay.  The workplace culture was interesting to say the less.  I loved what the University stands for, but it feel flat. I don't think I was shown the proper work culture that the University stands for.  The hardest part of the job was to experience the ego of the executive assistants and the Dean; as well as, some of the professors.  Some of the professors abused the student workers by ridiculing them.  Since leaving the University I have learned that the Dean is no longer there and that the new Dean is a person that I felt deserved the title of Dean, because of great character and high professional standards!   The most enjoyable part of my job was being surrounded by such amazing people.  People that were intrigued by the way the mind, body, psyche,and environment shaped humans, animals and the world. This helped me to understand so much about myself as a individual and as apart of the whole.  This experience made me stronger.

A typical day would be preparing the field or court with all the proper equipment and check on materials. Then either the referee or supervisor would check off the players. We would have a captain's meeting five minutes before the game started by explaining the rules and doing a coin flip to determine who would hold possession first.Then I would officiate the game by keeping everyone call and properly making calls as well as signals.

I learned that everyone views the game differently. Players complained quite frequently about calls, so I learned that the world is made with many different cultures and communication has to be clear.

The management was solid. The supervisors and directors taught me all the rules and procedures for each sport. They guided me through proper on-field training and notified me of any mistakes I made.

Everybody was relaxed and all the workers were very respectful.

I would get a weird schedule where I worked from 9:30-11pm on one day then 5-pm the other day. I once told the managers I couldn't work Wednesday and they scheduled me only on Wednesday. The schedules weren't consistent or precise.

I enjoyed the sporting aspect. I enjoyed a competitive, fun-filled game wheres both teams give maximum effort.

I enjoyed working for the Marketing Communications Department at Texas A&M University-Commerce because of my co-workers, the variety of jobs and projects, and the flexible schedule. My co-workers were patient with me as I developed skills for the job. They were fun to work with and gave constructive criticism and praise that made me feel like I was more than just a student worker. At the beginning of my job, I was writing social media reports for the school in order to help improve and develop TAMUC's social media accounts. I began working for the photographers in the department and enjoyed taking photos and videos at events. Most of the time, I edited videos which I enjoyed because of the storytelling component of videography. As a student, I was able to have a flexible schedule that sometime required me to work evenings and weekends. This didn't bother me since my co-workers knew that school came first and I wouldn't be able to work during class times. This jobs really taught me about visual marketing and how to tell a story through visual media.

The A&M RTV - 360 classes are held at BDM Studio off the A&M campus, and I (as well as the students) love it. I greatly enjoy being a professers assistant at BDM Studio. Being able to help teach the students how to properly use the studio equipment and do things like set up Pro Tools sessions and complete basic (yet necessary) studio tasks is a bunch of fun. There are two interns at the studio that I work with as of May 2016 - the other intern ended up getting a job at the House of Blues in Dallas, TX as their head front of house live sound engineer. 

The hardest part of my job like in all studios is communication. Trying to teach a student how to rout an analog board vs a digital board can become confusing at times, to say the least. But the learning process is awesome!

created and implemented all branding and communications and marketing strategies. Managed a full time staff of 12.
learned how to apply years of marketing communications experience to the higher education field. Management at the very top, excellent (CEO and CFO).  VP Advancement, not so hot.
workplace culture was excellent and rewarded critical thinking and risk taking as long as results were positive. Hardest part of job was the mixing of cultures of academia and business staff.
Most enjoyable part of job was seeing marketing communications strategies and efforts impact 13 percent enrollment growth over 3 years and substantial growth in philanthropic involvement.

My time with them was brief but it was good work that built character. If you feel that manual labor suits you better than a desk job, this will keep you active throughout your shift. The coworkers are friendly and willing to teach you anything you don't know. 

The only difficulty was working outside during the summer. The temperatures get extra hot and most of the events that require your aid will be setting up stands and such outside.

Overall it was a good experience that gives you real life lessons to prepare you for the future.

Typical work day consisted of feeding the horses and border horses. Once everything is fed/has water, we cleaned stalls, raked the barns and began working on other daily tasks. Trash bins needed to be emptied, wash racks needed to be cleaned, and manure pit needed to be emptied. Everyone was easy to work with and had a strong work ethic. When multiple people worked at a time we could accomplish an immense amount of jobs. The most difficult part of the job was trying to accomplish feedings, cleaning stalls and other daily tasks by a single person in one day. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to ride, tune and work with all the horses.

I have been working here for over 2 years (full-time) in a variety of different capacities to include consultation, counseling and now account management. Workplace Options offers a variety of benefits to their employees to include; wellness, counseling and work-life services to name a few. The culture of Workplace Options is positive, supportive and encourages departmental growth. The opportunities offered are endless. Their exchange program benefit is definitely unmatched!
Like any other employer, your growth within the organization depends on your ability to take initiative, be flexible, professional and have great work ethic.

I enjoyed this job for the short time I worked there. This job was located on my college campus, so I was able  to attend classes and maintain some type financial stability. I learned how to file paper work and assist other students with payroll information. Management was awesome, everyone was very friendly and patient. The hardest part of the job, was when I first started working I was a little nervous, because that was something that was very new for me. The most enjoyable part of the job was helping students with his/her payroll information. I really enjoyed helping others.
