Parking Attendant

"Though most people working there are not students, I believe that working in PTS is an excellent way for young adults (and others) to work, as it teaches patience and due diligence. The environment felt professional yet friendly, and Chester McNulty seems like a competent and down-to-earth manager."

Western Kentucky University Employee

"I had worked for WKU for about 4 years and it makes me sad they are going through some administrative changes that are forcing me to look elsewhere with employment. Advancement is extremely difficult in government jobs, as is with this one, but the benefits are pretty good."

"I have worked for WKU for over three years while I've been going to school. I have found more people to be nice and the IT department especially nice and easy to work with. Pay checks are submitted electronically and so is your W-2 so it makes it easy to be paid and to file taxes at the end of the year."
