just a volunteer

VOLUNTEER (Former Employee) – Windsor, ON – 14 February 2018

Open Streets is a program where streets are opened to people and closed to cars. People traffic replaces car traffic, and the streets become “paved parks” where visitors of all ages; abilities; and social, economic, and ethnic backgrounds can hit the streets to enjoy an array of healthy and fun physical and recreational outdoor activities.

Hard for young people to succeed

Program Development Supervisor (Former Employee) – Windsor, ON – 27 September 2017

Dependent on your department and supervisor, you're either in for a wild ride or a bumpy road.

Regardless, departments do not speak to each other and everyone is overworked.

Fun experience, provides great learning opportunities

Art Conservation Assistant (Current Employee) – Windsor, ON – 13 August 2016

The hours are full-time and allow you to become good friends with your co-workers, which makes the job even more enjoyable. This was a fantastic summer job for a student!

Pros

job is very "hands-on"

Cons

Working outdoors is weather permitting

I like my job but it consist of too much driving.

Scouter (Current Employee) – Windsor, On – 27 October 2015

My job is to scout out all potholes within Windsor area.

I would go home and post all the coordinates on excel files and email them to the city of Windsor coordinators.

What I've learn about this job is probably how to get around Windsor easier.

I work alone, so there is no co-workers.

The hardest part of this job is? I'd have to say preparing my routes before i start scouting making sure I don't go down the same areas and waste gas.

The most enjoyable part of my job is to find potholes!

Fun active place to work, rapidly growing staff with low hours

Lifeguard, Swim Instructor, Lifesaving Instructor (Current Employee) – Windsor, ON – 23 September 2015

Great job, a lot of fun. You are always kept on your toes as a lifeguard for the City. However, they keep hiring new staff without having more hours available. Therefore hours are being cut down quite a bit. Other than that it is a great place to work!

Full-time summer job with Parks and Recreations.

Student Lottery Employee (Former Employee) – Windsor, ON – 1 June 2015

-Show up at work, begin a never-ending list of vacant lots that we had to maintain. Once 8 hours pass you can now go home.
- I learned how to work with my hands, i really learned how to navigate through Windsor and different street names and areas. I also learned how to prepare for work by getting enough rest the night before.
- Management had our backs as long as we did our work and they were very defending of our reputations.
- Co-workers and i didn't have many problems, i tend to stay out of people's issues and bring humour to the table.
- The hardest part of the job was waking up every morning and biking to work.
- The most enjoyable part was the fact that we were trusted and no one would nag about things we already knew.

Pros

Pay

Cons

It was full-time
