Western New Mexico University Employee Reviews for Administrative Secretary

"I can summarize in one word: People."

What do you like about working at Western New Mexico University?

"Working in an academic environment does much to nurture the soul. My position affords me the vantage point to view my surroundings from the student perspective as well as the intermediary with faculty and community. I really have the best job on campus."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Don't apply with the notion you can work up to a better pay. It is a state job and you have to apply because you feel you can make a difference or it fullfills a passion. The work environment is completely satisfying."

What don't you like about working at Western New Mexico University?

"The fine print in my yearly contract states and duties as assigned. While there are some that would view this as opened opportunity for the employer to dump duties and responsibilities, I see it as an advantage to asserting my various skills and experiences to enhance the student environment. So I guess there isn't much I don't like about my job. If I could change anything, I guess it would be a more transparent source of communication between University entities and student."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Communication must be improved if there is ever to be a real move towards a University worth exploring."
