Tutoring Job

Tutor (Former Employee)
Columbia, MO (US)

I worked at University of Missouri part-time for more than a year

ProsThe hours are flexible, the pay is more than fair, and you get to manage yourself. If you like helping others with their problems, this is an ideal job.

ConsOver the past two years, I didn't really run into anything that I disapproved of. I suppose the only problem I had was that sometimes a session would get packed with too many students and it was difficult to help everyone a fair amount, but this was not a big issue very often.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

ProsWork well with your schedule to make sure you have hours where you need them.

ConsManagement doesn't address known problems, often making things even worse.
No incentive to stay in a job, as the raises are insubstantial or nonexistent.

The University treats graduate students like cheap labor rather than trainees

Graduate Research Assistant (Current Employee)
Columbia, MO (US)

I have been working at University of Missouri full-time for more than 3 years

ProsColumbia Missouri is a very nice, affordable place to live. The University does have an excellent selection of learning opportunities.

ConsI have seen many graduate students exploited by their "mentors" as cheap technical labor. These mentors often make no effort to move the student toward gradation, and instead slow the student down as to keep them in the lab for a couple of extra years.

Advice to Senior ManagementInstitute policies to ensure that all graduate students are steadily progressing toward a degree.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
