"I have worked for the Center for Additive Manufacturing and Logistics for the past 2 years. This position has by far been the best work experience I could have asked for. Managers are super involved and helpful, while also keeping everyone else on track. This has been an excellent opportunity."

Working at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC: 77 Employee Reviews

North Carolina State University Employee

"Being a Teacher Assistant is good for gaining experience, but the pay is very low compared to other positions you could likely find. In addition, there is some manual work in the CSC department that could theoretically be completed by a computer program (i.e. boring, repetitive tasks). The people there are friendly though, and we don't have someone constantly looking over our shoulders."
