Oregon State University Employee

"Working for OSU's extension was fun, but my boss was an abusive addict who regularly broke her promises by putting her name on my work and moving my name down in the list of authors so that she could appear to be doing significantly more work than she actually did. Also, the money was terrible and budget cuts were ongoing for years."

Student Assistant

"Great place to study physics. I have not earned and developed my skills as a scientist, I was able to develop teaching skills and computers administrating as well. The faculty gets along very well and they encourage an environment of working together. The pay and compensation ($1950 a month with full tuition and 90% of the fees paid for) were good for only working a couple hours a week. Our department has a reputation of being a recruitment base for Intel research and software development."
