Having lots of free time to hang out with friends and do fun things around Murray. I enjoyed how laid back the job was as well

I wish we were told beforehand that we would have two weeks off unpaid. It also would have been more helpful if we had more advance notice about some of the job responsibilities we were expected to do

Advice

To have a good time at this job, it’s essential to have a group of friends to spend your extra time with. If not, you will be very bored

Student Worker

May - August 2023 • Murray, KY

What I liked

It was very flexible during the Summer, and I was able to take time off for a Summer trip I had with my family. I was able to make my schedule with my boss, and make up hours on the chance I needed to.

Advice

It can be grueling depending on the department you're in and what things have been planned during the Summer, and it is VERY HOT, plan accordingly with that. But all in all, it is quite fun and you create relationships with professors and members of the department, you wouldn't normally have during the school year.
