"The University is a good place to work, though as it is a public institution, there are plenty of bureaucratic absurdities. I'd highly recommend it if there's a job that matches your skill set."

University of Iowa Employee
in Iowa City, IA

"I have worked for the University of Iowa since 2009. Since 2017 I have been in a Planner/Scheduler role for one of the many maintenance areas. I have created a lot of great memories and built many professional and personal relationships throughout my career. The benefits are tremendous. I think it is hard to find any type of comparable benefits with other employers. Compensation is average to below average, mainly because of the total benefit package. I do enjoy the ability to learn, on the job and by taking different management/leadership classes, as well as anything that pertains to the job as well. Resources are limitless, within reason. Knowing others around you and learning from them is critical in growing within the organization. There is a great freedom that we have being able to work without interruptions and at a pace that is practical while juggling many different facets of the job."
