Brandon University Careers and Employment

Working at Brandon University has had it's down points, primarily with dealing with COVID. When I first started, class sizes where 12-15 students, and by the time I finished my last teaching term I taught a combined level class of 9-10 students. Primarily, this was because of the travel restrictions in place due to COVID and how this affected student visa processing, student enrolment, etc. This experience gave me a great taster teaching at a post secondary institutional level. The job itself had been heavy on assessment and grading, which I found had helped my overall teaching ability. Great instructors to work with. The program allowed me to make adjustments to my workload due to stress

Great Co-workers

Teaching at Brandon University is very laid back. Colleagues are friendly and helpful, and often very social. The hardest part of this job is probably that you're on your own for course curriculum development. Management seems to assume that you know your job already and don't really interfere unless you ask for feedback.

Change is super slow because

This is the way it is always done..... the culture is “good enough” service and no staff diversity. The on The only Indigenous people work in Native Studies and Fine Art! Really...there are writers, scientists, people with doctorates..... but BU is stereotypically slow to create change.

Stressful Workplace

Management is subpar, HR routinely botches and alters protocol to suit their needs. Turnover is high. Pay is on par with job position, however it is not worth the stress.
