Teaching Assitant - Teaching Assistant Penn State Employee Review

I enjoyed working at outpost, it felt a lot more relaxed not including the rush and I could joke around with staff.

Stacks felt like alot more pressure that I had to get everything right and that I was always being watched.

Meaningful mission supporting community education and outreach programs. Gained valuable administrative and clerical experience, including scheduling, data entry, records management, and event coordination. Developed strong customer service and communication skills by assisting educators and community members. Worked for a well-respected public institution, which looks good on a resume. Opportunity to support nutrition education and public health initiatives, contributing to positive community outcomes.

Pay was very low compared to the responsibilities and cost of living. Limited opportunities for career advancement without changing positions or departments. Administrative work could become repetitive at times. Salary growth and raises were relatively modest.
