Was hired as a contract student assistant by a State Agency that was working through UEI to recruit. Was promised all sorts of training opportunities and possibilities for advancement, none of which materialized, at least in my instance. Was subjected to blatant discrimination, as well as several instances where my supervisor made insensitive remarks about such matters as my marital status. Was lead to believe that work opportunities would be available even as I transitioned from undergraduate to graduate studies. This was a lie. I began to realize just how deep the lie was when my supervisor started acting very sketchy about my application for continued service (LOL what?). In the end, little-to-nothing was learned, and it was an utter waste of my time. Except for the money. That was OK.

This review is really about the State agency for which I worked, and not UEI itself. But UEI did nothing by way of follow-up to ensure that this "learning opportunity" was actually an opportunity to learn.



A typical day at work is arriving at 9:00 AM and working through to 5:00 PM of constant quietness

What I learned is managing all and every excel sheets as well as assembling and auditing all travel claims as well as recording all of California DMV records

Management was simple and unique, very easy to get along with but very serious about their field of business

My Co-workers were quiet and kept to themselves but only talk to their gender, like for instance my department were mostly female so they only talk within that group and i was left out doing my own work unless they needed me which is not often

The hardest part of the job was the absolute silence, it was not something I could deal with and also sitting at a desk for 8 hours staring at a computer screen doing tedious work is not very efficient 

The most enjoyable part of the job was that my pay went as i earned more school credit, so working for 2 years my pay jumped from the base pay which is $8.49 an hour to $10.49 an hour, and the praise I would get for finishing an assignment handed to me early or on time

Worked in the accounting department. There are approximately 12 employees that work in the department. There are two women in particular that work in the receivables department whom are very catty and clicky. Neither of which have any formal education, and both behave like overgrown bullies. One of which sits at her desk and eats all day, the other has inappropriate and disrespectful outburst at random. One in particular is great at appearing to be busy, but in fact she doesn’t do much of anything all day. She has been getting away with it for years due to her long-term relationships with people at the job. The other is flat out rude, and disrespectful and uses the excuse that she has internal issues for her blatant nasty attitude. The manager is very timid and these two girls walk all over her as if she is their subordinate. The company appears to be great, however it is a horrible place to work with a toxic work environment. I would not recommend this job to my worst enemy.

As a student, usually don't have tasks that have deadlines, as they know you have classes and may not be in on a daily basis (depending on which state dept you're working in). However, it was steady and were guaranteed up to 20 hours/week during semester and up to 40 hours/week during breaks (winter, spring, & summer).

The dept I worked it was quite and they trust you to do your job. My managers were great and they try to get us together for lunch or outings sometimes and lots of food events during the holidays. I learned about data entry and analyze incoming information.

Had great co-workers. I graduated, but now I miss this job.. I got to meet new people and began to know the regulars slowly. It was the best job I ever had. 

Job was on campus, so right after work you can walk to class. Had the best manager that cared deeply about her workers.

Some people complained that the hours were low. I didn't mind at all. It took me forever to get a job, so I was happy and grateful for being employed. 

The hardest part is when we are busy. Sometimes I would forget to write someone's name on the wait list. It happened at least two times for me in a semester. Nonetheless, I enjoyed this job.

I loved that the hiring process was easy and simple. No slip flops at the company but anything with a strap will work. The company will ask if anyone can work for extra hours and they dont go based off seniority but availability. Friendly workers and staff. ONE TO ONE teaching and you write a review at the end of each session about your client and a 3 month packet..

Management and HR are biased.  If you try to give feedback to help processes or procedures where there are none they are very defensive.  Instead of doing the right thing they will make you the scapegoat.  They do not take accountability for their poor management and decisions.  

Seems they are only after grant money with a use it or lose it motivation as uses for grant money expand into illogical projects.  

Very disappointing in regard to ethics, accountability and management.




We sit most of the time and we are always dialing phone numbers hoping that the people we call will answer our surveys. I learned how to be great at customer service, which includes being nice to the rude customers. My co-workers were really nice to get along with as most of us are business majors. The most enjoyable part of the job was fulfilling our quotas for the day and once we accomplished the number of surveys needed.

Many of the jobs posted are for student assistants, and you are only allowed to work 20 hours per week and you can work 40 hours when school is not in session. If you are a student assistant you max out after working 1500 hours which is around a year and a half if you only do 20 hours a week.  It is a good job for students who need a little extra cash or to build upon their resumes.

It was my first ever real job and I learned a lot from that job. I learned how to cooperate with people that had different ideas and people that were difficult to work with. All in all there aren't many complaints other than the general higher pay that most students require to survive in this state.
