Student-centered institution - Anonymous employee St. Olaf Employee Review

The environment at St Olaf is very Supportive, positive, and friendly.

The cons of working as a student is high competition for the on-campus positions since most of the Oles are very active

Northfield is a cute little Christmas town.

Unless you were a alumni from St. Olaf College you are always going to be treated like an outsider. Management tends to promote alumni before qualified individuals. HR will try their best to help you but you will realize that they are also at the whims of this strange insider club. When you ask for help you won't get it. There's a wink wink work culture here that you are expected to be working 24/7.
