Graduate Assistant

"I truly admire and believed in the mission that the TLT stood for and would have happily stayed, if a job was available. But as a Graduate assistant, when you complete you degree, contract is done. Furthermore, the hiring process is slow. Facility was comfortable and communication improved as the job roles grew with the position. All in all it was a quiet work environment."
