University of Missouri Reviews

Former Employee – worked at University of Missouri part-time for more than a year

Pros – The hours are flexible, the pay is more than fair, and you get to manage yourself. If you like helping others with their problems, this is an ideal job.

Cons – Over the past two years, I didn't really run into anything that I disapproved of. I suppose the only problem I had was that sometimes a session would get packed with too many students and it was difficult to help everyone a fair amount, but this was not a big issue very often.

Pros – Columbia Missouri is a very nice, affordable place to live. The University does have an excellent selection of learning opportunities.

Cons – I have seen many graduate students exploited by their "mentors" as cheap technical labor. These mentors often make no effort to move the student toward gradation, and instead slow the student down as to keep them in the lab for a couple of extra years.

Advice to Senior Management – Institute policies to ensure that all graduate students are steadily progressing toward a degree.

Former Employee – worked at University of Missouri full-time for more than a year

Pros – Autonomy is the key. As a research scientist I was given leeway to explore projects in my own ways, and there was support when I needed it, both from my supervisor and from the office staff.

Cons – I don't think this is a con, but you'd have to enjoy living in a small college town to work here. That being said, I truly enjoyed Columbia as a city. They are very forward-thinking despite their size and location in the middle of nowhere.
