"I started at UAB as a temp in 2010 and was offered full time employment in 2011. As a state-run university, the benefits are excellent and the pay is very competitive. My advice to anyone seeking employment at UAB, particularly on the campus side, would be to do some homework regarding the departments (both administrative and academic.) Find out as much as you can about the work environment and the department leaders. As with with any company, some departments are better managed than others."

"I have worked in UAH for around an year. I was appointed as a Graduate Teaching Assistant and it was one of the most informative experience that you could ever get. This gives a good look into how different people come up with different ideas and puts things into perspective. A GTA in UAH means full ride and stipend, which helped me a lot."
