What is the best part of working at the company?
The university is very mission focused. The mission is to help Hispanics improve their socio-economic status through higher education. The sisters who started this school in 1881 are still active in the day to day management of the organization. The faculty are student focused, and prioritize undergraduate teaching. The small class sizes allow for individual instruction. With over 20 Division 1 athletic teams, the university has a wide range of sporting events to take part in.

Lenient work schedule, close knit co-workers that quickly become friends. Leadership strives to protect it's employees and looks after them.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Trying to get your work done in a work day without going into overtime. Management does not like their employees going into OT, at all. If you go into OT for even 15 minutes, you have to explain why you went into OT.

On any given day. An A/V Tech would assign a room and specific tasks for me to perform. I would go into a classroom and remove all outdated audio and visual equipment and replace them with up to date equipment. I would cut ceiling tiles to install ceiling speakers, removed projector screen and projector, and disassemble the teachers desk to install a new desktop with a Classroom Audio and Visual Control System attached. 
My co-workers and I got along very well and enjoyed learning more about audio and visual technology. We got the chance to participate with the preparation of graduation cermonies by assisting the techs with the speaker set-up, wiring, sound checks, balance check, and a mock ceremony session. 
When I was not assisting in the classroom installations, I would be responsible for the incoming calls for assistance with issues regarding software and A/V equipment on campus.

Assist students/faculty with retrieving packages from the back and also with purchasing such as, stamps, envelopes, and different shipping methods used by the USPS, FedEx, UPS, and DHL. I've learned about the different costs and methods of shipping an item as media mail, flats, or envelopes due to their weight, destination or priority to which they have to arrive at the other location. I am a leader so I organize a lot of what needs to be done and communicate with fellow co-workers. The hardest part of the job is sometimes dealing with packages that are lost in transit and the recipient gets frustrated and blames our post office workers. What I enjoy most is being able to help people receive their mail, which is very important and I get to meet a lot of different people from all over.

Monitor telephone, cameras, DSX swipe, alarms, fire pulls, help stations and weather radar. We keep a daily log and vehicles mileage and maintenance log via computer. We dispatch officers and off property emergency agencies, when deemed necessary. I've learned how to micro manage, take accurate notes, listen clearly and patiently and manage stress. The University is very culture diverse with any different students and faculty from all walks of life. Is dealing with parents from other states and countries that are frantic because they can't make contact with their child that dorms on campus. The most enjoyable part is the special events, free food and give always. The University always ensure that the police dept is included thou we have to work.

I enjoyed completing my internship with the University of Incarnate Word's strength and conditioning program. They were extremely helpful and I learned a lot. I was able to get a feel for what it's like to be a strength coach. I was able to make my own hours due to the fact that I was in season and taking 18 hours of school. I learned about all the different sports related exercise and what muscles each sport focused on. I enjoyed being able to show up in athletic clothes and my hair up. Them most enjoyable part of the job is being able to work with the student athletes and  help them reach their full potential.

In 2013, I got a work-study job at University of the Incarnate Word's library. I loved working with books and the library staff. Since I was going to Incarnate Word for a Bachelor's in English, this place was very flexible with my school schedule. Also, the library let me stay with them after each semester, which was amazing, because I loved working here. I only had one bad encounter with a patron, but other than that, I was able to handle everyone else. I had to leave this job in 2015, because I was graduating from Incarnate Word in May 2015, which was sad, because I loved this job and the people there. Though, if I could have this job again, then I would happily accept.

The students I taught were wonderful; however, the backstabing, favouritism, and vindictiveness were allowed by the "religious campus minister" (who holds no religious degree) was very disheartening for an institution that calls itself catholic, not to overlook  the possable federal EEO violation of discrimination. 
However, this institution showed itself to be sly and cunning not at all reflecting their own mission statement or whom they claim to follow. 
It was a blessing in disguise  to have left such a disastrous school that dysfunctional, unethical, and time unchristian that had only one teach of religion that had a real degree in THELOGY

Working at the UIW Natatorium is too relaxed for the environment that it is in. A pool's culture should promote safety in and around the water, but lifeguards and pool staff are too relaxed to carry that out. Guards are consistently on their phones, while being left alone on stand to monitor the pool, many times with no secondary lifeguard in the event of an EAP. 
Guards are not compensated fairly considering the level of training that should be required of them as governed by federal laws. For example, Front Desk staff at the Natatorium are paid almost a dollar more per hour, while lifeguards have paid certifications they must maintain.
