"I've worked for OPERS in UCSC for almost three years. I had a great teamwork and a welcoming environment. This was very important because it brings trust in the team. When ideas came to mind I would discuss them with my boss. I had the opportunity to go beyond and help others in need. I was able to train others, help more in the facility, and educated and well inform the clients. This company taught me leadership, team worker, extending the help with other companies and groups, and most importantly expand your ideas to the company."

"It was a fair job with a great community of student workers. My only recommendation for the job was to be more understanding and accepting of younger workers aiming to find a career with the university maintenance staff. I witnessed three younger managers leave the university because they did not appreciate the way the senior staff treated them."
