"The University of Alabama has been more than a 2 time alma mater to me. It has also served as a safe ground for me to leave the same everlasting impact on students in the same manner it did me. I came into the university as a first generation college student seeking answers. I'm leaving the university with my answers met and seeking a new foundation to began providing solutions. Our Career Center department does just that. We aide in exploring the our student body, developing them from within, and connecting them finally with the necessary network."

"I worked for ISM department of UA as teaching and research assistant during my Ph.D. study life for 4 years, and I enjoyed the overall environment, the nice faculties, and active students."

"It was an academic position. As in any academic position, a student, you strongly depend on your advisor. I strongly disagreed with his work methodology because of its lack of planning and scarce resource; also, I felt uncomfortable with the work attribution. I hope mine was just a particular case of having a bad experience with an advisor, and not a general rule in the university. Actually, I need to mention that I met really good professors and great students."

"The University of Alabama has given me so many tools to run programs and projects effectively. It has allowed me to learn to be adaptable and work in fast-paced environments that require quick dependable responses.

This helped progress my engineering skills and enhanced my ability to work with others to provide the best engineering products."

"I love working here, the people and the work culture make the time at work fly by and the work rewarding. It has added so much to my college experience to work in the student union because I feel like I am truly a part of this campus. I began as a Conference Coordinator here and was promoted to Manager after a year."

"I’ve worked as an undergraduate research assistant for several months now. It gives me the opportunity to learn a different aspect of engineering beyond a normal work environment. I have enjoyed it immensely and recommend it to other engineers."

"It was a great experience working as a Graduate Research Assistant in the University of Alabama."

"Tuscaloosa is a great place to learn and practice your skills in a high stress environment similar to that of actual employment. They offer several programs to earn a small wage practicing your skills."

"Since July 2019, I have been working alongside graduate students and professors within our Mechanical Engineering program to further research at the University, specifically regarding 3D printing with metals. It has been an amazing learning experience and each day holds a new challenge."

"I've worked at the University of Alabama since 2015. In that time I've found it to be a decent place to work. The testing facilities are top of the line and the lead engineers are very knowledgeable in their fields. I have learned a lot from working here."

"I've worked at the university since May 2014, so my personal experience is quite limited. Naturally, the quality of the work environment for a student assistant depends largely on the professor for whom you work, and as such most of what I've marked above is a reflection of that dynamic with the professor, and not representative of all such jobs with the University of Alabama. Having said that, I have found it to be a positive work environment, though I am looking forward to a change."

"My experience at the university of Alabama was overall positive one, however, middling compensation, lack of advancement opportunities, poor upper-mid management, and less than stellar work facilities outweigh my excellent co-workers, direct supervisor, and workplace culture."
