Pros:
Working as a front desk receptionist at the University of Tampa was a great experience. The job provided a flexible schedule, which was perfect for balancing work and school. The work environment was professional yet welcoming, and I had the opportunity to interact with students, faculty, and staff daily. The role helped me develop strong communication, organizational, and multitasking skills. I also gained valuable experience using office software and handling administrative tasks. The supervisors were supportive, and the workload was manageable, making it a stress-free job compared to other on-campus positions.

Cons:
While the job was generally enjoyable, there were occasional slow periods where there wasn’t much to do, which could make shifts feel long. Additionally, there wasn’t much opportunity for advancement, as it was primarily a student position. However, for anyone looking for a convenient on-campus job with professional experience, this is a great choice.

Not only are the people great to work with they are also incredibly helpful.  A typical day consists of multiple tasks for each team including things such as social media updates, website maintenance, game reviews, creating game day programs, developing graphics with photoshop and much more.  The hardest part is being able to handle multiple tasks at once because of all the teams that need updated information on a daily basis. Working with this fantastic group of people I have learned things such as how to use photoshop, Indesign, video highlights, event preparation and game coverage. The most enjoyable part of my job are the people I work with. I love working with people and in the University of Tampa offices everyone gets along and works together.  The overall environment is what makes the job extremely enjoyable.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part was work with Staff, the week off for thanksgiving and xmas break. The Fridays off from May to August.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You are underpaid and asked to do an immense amount work. Some managers will use a specific title to underpay you and will ask you to do things that fall under responsibilities for a higher paying position and they are aware they are doing it.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Micromanagers are everywhere. Have an old school state of mind. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Answering emails, reserving rooms, submitting catering orders, submitting furniture set up, watering plants, assisting manager with their needs and tasks, assisting the department with their needs and tasks.

I found the working on the 11-7 shift to be very poor. The Security Director is a former TPD who thinks that by hiring Cops he can run a Security Department. The Assistant Director of Security was a Nice Guy but had no pull in changing the department. The two supervisors were totally worthless and more interested in Collecting a Paycheck and tuition benefits for their kids then doing the job they were hired for.
Don't waste your time here, Oh Yea they will feed you and give you nice uniforms but if Your are a True Security Person you won't make it here. They have a 6 month probation period and they will fire you half way through without notice!
They are not "family Friendly either"!! Although the College is the Security Department is NOT!!!

I was the senior payroll coordinator for student workers in the IT department. I had a lot of tasks from day to day. Besides managing payroll for about 100 students each semester, I kept track of their paperwork and schedules. I worked with one other student and then our immediate supervisor. We managed email and communication with all the students, other supervisors, and on campus departments. I scheduled and attended meetings and interviews. We were available to step in when needed at the front desk or various other jobs. We acted as the backbone and constant in the department with one of the most student employees on campus. I loved every co worker I had and my supervisor was wonderful - I couldn't have asked for a better work experience during college.

No support for tenure-track professors and it is practically impossible to get a grant. Management is a men's club. Very little discussion of diversity and no active work to support it. The college rules are arbitrary and at the whim of those in charge. If you are not liked, they will work to push you out by making your life miserable. In the categories of tenure review, teaching comes in at a distant third place. Student reviews will take precedent on your annual review, so be sure to make them very happy. Research is number one, even though this is a Teaching College and not an RI research university. 

Working here was a great experience. The people I worked with and the people I worked for are nothing but caring and helping individuals. We worked in a team environment and always helped each other out even on our days off. We developed events to engage UT students to attending games on and off campus. We dealt and organized fundraisers and sponsors for the games and we created themed nights weekly. We always had different projects going on and we got access to the golf carts and the crafts department to make signs and flyers. The hardest part of the job would be getting a consistent amount of students to the game each week.

As a teaching assistant in the Anatomy & Physiology Labs, I helped students learn course material in a way that best fit their specific learning style. I learned how to be a leader and communicate my ideas among the other TAs. I also learned how to create and grade exams effectively. The professor I assisted was a great role model who helped me grow and become more vocal as a student. The culture was very friendly because all the TAs were always willing to help one another. The hardest part was learning how to create and evaluate exams. The most enjoyable part was working with other students and professors to build my knowledge of A&P.

The intramural program is definitely fun and entertaining. As a intramural referee you experience what it would be like to referee different sports and see how intense these games can be. As a referee we are expected to be yelled at a lot but on the other side of the spectrum we are controlling the tempo of the game. I found it as great experience and allowed me to grow as a referee plus as a person. I interacted with many different type of people and was able to create and be part of a fun working environment.

The campus is beautiful and you are able to meet a variety of people every day which is a great boost for networking. However, the management in IT is terrible, extremely unfair and does not treat employees with enough respect or gratitude for the hard work put in. Many people lost their jobs with no warning or eventually quit on their own. Highly recommend the school itself and perhaps working in another department, but stay away from IT until management is under control and working more efficiently.
