Well managed workplace
Technical Assistant (Former Employee), Ottawa, ON – February 25, 2013
Pros: non-strenuous
This is perhaps the best workplace environment I have worked at. My boss was very nice and taught me the basics of hardware and software. The environment and atmosphere there was amazing and well kept. Co-worker were nice and helpful during my time there. The hardest part of the job was when I spent hours on end trying to repair the damaged computers – more... and determining the problem. My favourite part is being able to learn and work with what I love, computers. – less

Rewarding Workplace
Research assistant (Current Employee), Ottawa, ON – November 27, 2012
Pros: the hours are amazing
Cons: it can be intimidating meeting highly educated individuals on a daily basis
Carleton University is not only a fantastic institution to study at but also a very enjoyable place to work. Working for the women and gender studies department has taught me many skills such as how to conduct a thorough research interview and write ups for a newsletter. I also get the opportunity to meet brilliant minds and take part in many presentations – more... for the department. The management is very kind and understanding - always willing to help and to teach their employees. – less

Great and very accommodating work environment
Research Assistant (Former Employee), Ottawa, ON – September 13, 2012
Pros: flexible schedule, accommodating supervisors, and a great way to build organizational and communications skills
Cons: short contract that only lasts while you are a student.
This job was among the best I ever had. My supervisor was very understanding of my situation as a student, and managed to schedule a workload that allowed me to do my job without interfering too much with my academic commitments. I highly enjoyed teaching classes, and while marking papers was tedious at times, I still enjoy the editing and clerical – more... features of this job. – less
