However, it heavily restricts your hours so if you need a job to afford rent and other big Bill's I would suggest working somewhere else that allows you to work more.

private:northernillinoisuniversity https://www.indeed.com/cmp/northern-illinois-university/reviews Oct 20th, 2020 12:00AM Open Open Open Northern Illinois University Human Resources Representative DeKalb, IL USA HR needs new management Worked for HR for twelve years. Was given the opportunity to advance and was promised a raise. Always get it in writing, I failed to do that. Supervisor was not personable and if you stepped on her toes or went over her head to talk to others with concerns, you were excluded and had duties take away. I was verbally reprimanded for it as well. No team work. Environment was toxic and unhealthy. Unable to say how you feel. There was favoritism. Need leadership who genuinely care for their employees. Needs transparency. Free tuition if approved. Needs positive and healthy leadership 0.0 0.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 Jan 27th, 2021 02:08PM Mar 19th, 2021 07:58PM Northern Illinois University Consumer Services General Retailers

Work wasn’t hard but it gets boring a lot of the time but everyone is nice and you get paid breaks if you work a 7 hour shift Paid 30 minute break Boring 0.0 0.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 Jan 27th, 2021 02:08PM Mar 20th, 2021 03:54PM Northern Illinois University Consumer Services General Retailers

private:northernillinoisuniversity https://www.indeed.com/cmp/northern-illinois-university/reviews Jul 18th, 2020 12:00AM Open Open Open Northern Illinois University IT Assistant Manager DeKalb, IL USA Too many chiefs Chiefs don’t listen to Indians Chiefs paid lots Indians not so, unless you get in the right loop. Women in the field tend to be paid less. Having a degree is over rated, people in leadership, degree is not helpful when it comes to the leadership. Not focusing on community and remote learning has many challenges for administration. Again, Indians aren’t getting a voice.

private:northernillinoisuniversity https://www.indeed.com/cmp/northern-illinois-university/reviews Jun 10th, 2020 12:00AM Open Open Open Northern Illinois University Graduate Instructor DeKalb, IL USA Supportive and Encouraging Work Environment My department at the university was very supportive and encouraging. The pay was lower than I would want but not lower than industry standards for graduate instructors at public institutions in the area (though lower than the nationwide average). There is no graduate union for collective action but there is a faculty union. I am not sure if there is a staff union. The wider University work culture, however, is excellent. 0.0 0.0 5.0 4.0 5.0 5.0 3.0 5.0 Jan 27th, 2021 02:08PM Mar 19th, 2021 08:07PM Northern Illinois University Consumer Services General Retailers

Low pay but that is expected on a college campus, also great people to work around and there is always extra work to do if available 0.0 0.0 3.0 3.0 3.0 3.0 3.0 3.0 Jan 27th, 2021 02:08PM Mar 19th, 2021 08:08PM Northern Illinois University Consumer Services General Retailers
private:northernillinoisuniversity https://www.indeed.com/cmp/northern-illinois-university/reviews Apr 8th, 2020 12:00AM Open Open Open Northern Illinois University Clinical Screener DeKalb, IL USA Flexibility, supportive supervisor and team, good benefits, excellent learning opportunities. A typical day at work could include interviewing parents, conducting developmental screenings with children ages birth through 5, and writing assessments and making recommendations for services. I maintained regular contact with my supervisor, though she is in another office. Probably the most difficult part of the job is seeing the low reunification rates. The part I enjoy the most is interviewing the parents and learning of their personal stories. 0.0 0.0 5.0 5.0 4.0 4.0 5.0 4.0 Jan 27th, 2021 02:08PM Mar 19th, 2021 08:10PM Northern Illinois University Consumer Services General Retailers

The hours are fairly flexible as the professional staff members usually work around your schedule to accommodate your needs. Hours aren't too bad, but sometimes you're on call once or twice a week.
