Why We Work for PSAKARISSA HAND ‘18

“When I entered my freshman year at Penn, I was looking for a community, and I never imagined my work study job would give me that community. Every time I walk into the PSA office, I immediately feel like I am at home. There is always someone there to greet me, ask how my day is, and offer up a joke. At the same time, I am gaining real world business and management experience that I wouldn’t get in a classroom otherwise. I’m so grateful to have PSA and the PSA family in my life, and I can’t imagine my college experience without them.”

DANIELLE PETSIS ‘17

“I love working for PSA because it gives me the opportunity to see how businesses work and all that goes into them. Working with PSA was the first extracurricular I became involved with at Penn. The community we have here has helped to define my Penn experience because of the great people I work with and our customers as well.”

KELSIE STEWART ‘19

“There are a lot of different aspects of this position, including marketing the business, customer service, processing orders, working with vendors, planning deliveries, and managing employees. These responsibilities have given me exposure to a variety of business areas including management, operations, and marketing. I genuinely believe I could not get the same level and quality of experience at any other organization on campus. Since business is my area of study, these experiences have been especially valuable for me.”

SHELBY BARLOW ‘18

“The HR position at PSA is multifaceted, and I have genuinely been able to make it my own. While improving my organizational, time management, and communication skills, I have also had opportunities to be creative and innovative. I take pride in the work I do and I feel as though I have grown significantly through my time at PSA, and that is what sets it apart from the other student employment opportunities on campus; the work is meaningful, memorable, and empowering. Having worked in fast food and retail while in high school, I could not be more thankful for my position with PSA and the real world skills, business experience, and fond memories it has provided to me.”

ANDREW LEAR ‘16

“PSA is a community unlike any other I’ve ever been a part of at Penn. The student-workers come from all different backgrounds, and everyone is so friendly to the point that it actually makes coming to work fun! During my time at PSA, I’ve gained valuable work experience running a legitimate business, which largely facilitated the process of finding a job post-college. I highly recommend this organization to anyone interested in working part-time during college and being a part of a community of wonderful people!”

LOGAN KESEL ‘17

“I could not be more grateful to have found a place like Penn Student Agencies on campus during my time at Penn. Navigating my roles at PSA from Customer Service Representative and Store Director at Quaker Corner to the Customer Service manager of firstServices, I was able to gain hands-on leadership and business experience learning from other managers in each agency and the programming that PSA provides for all of their employees. Now pursuing a career in business, I will build off of the foundation and training I received at PSA for the rest of my career. Not only has PSA provided me with financial resources, countless opportunities, friendships, and memories, it has also given me a skill set that I will be able to apply in many areas of my life for years to come.”
