Assistant (Former Employee) - Londonderry, ON - 4 November 2023

Indeed is a great place to work. Like any company that goes through massive growth in a short period of time, there will be challenges; like culture shift, obfuscation of vision at different levels of management and inconsistent planning. However during the 'teenage' years, we're getting over some of those growing pains and really coming into our own and re-establishing our culture, clarifying our goals and delivering clear plans to be successful.Everything used to be extremely fun and carefree, but things always were when you were a kid! Now that we're growing up, things are a little more serious, but that is critical to continue to evolve as a business.Additionally, in context of a global pandemic, Indeed is consistently exceeding expectations of how it is supporting its employees, communities and clients and I am truly proud to be a part of this group.

Additional support required

Professor (Former Employee) - London, ON - 4 May 2023

Additional support required for on-boarding new teaching staff. Handed the curriculum and left on my own the semester, making it difficult to ensure the teaching was aligned with exams.

Great place to work

Professor (Current Employee) - London, ON - 12 March 2023

I have never had any issue with colleagues or management at Fanshawe. Of course, there may be differences from department to department, campus to campus. Overall, it is one of the best places I've worked. Great work-life balance for those who love teaching.

Love teaching students, but terrible experience with program leads

Part-time Professor (Current Employee) - London, ON - 16 January 2023

Absolutely love teaching students and sharing my knowledge and experience with them. Fanshawe has a great online learning environment which I didn’t find too difficult to figure out; with some trail and error. But unfortunately the program lead, coordinator and a few others made my experience at the college less than favourable.Guess everyone experiences might differ depending on these individuals since they make or break the Fanshawe experience for part-time teachers. Very difficult to approach, and feeling that this particular school environment might not be suited for me and will definitely consider teaching for another institution.I just love teaching !

Good if you only want part time

Part-time Professor (Current Employee) - London, ON - 2 December 2022

It's a great job if you are only wanting part-time work in addition to your full-time career. Enjoyable atmosphere working with students. It's very difficult to get on full time, and the interview process for full time is challenging.

Pros

Professional environment, most professors are friendly and collaborative.

Cons

With limited classroom space, it's hard to get classes on the day or time that works best for you, you basically have to take what they give you.
