Good option if you are an student there

Hydroponic Unit Operator (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 23 October 2022

It`s a nice place to start gaining some work experience but nothing else. You`ll receive minimum wage and no more than 15 h per week as a part-time worker.

Focused on finances, not learning

Support Staff (Former Employee) - Fennell Campus - 16 October 2022

Mohawk college was my employer for 5 years before I left to take another position. The work was enjoyable and the students were always very friendly (best part of the job!). Support staff colleagues were generally friendly; many seasoned employees were caught up in the politics of job hierarchy and could be resistant to change or new staff. Bad management decisions through the college, good managers and directors keep leaving while the toxic ones stay (and are glorified). Throughout the pandemic the environment became increasingly stressful and less focussed on academics and learning, the Deans and Admin are worried about money and numbers first. Diploma mill in the making.

Loved teaching there. Management philosophy is poor.

Professor: Humanities and Social Sciences (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 3 October 2022

Loved teaching. Management culture when I started with this company was good. It later shifted to a more corporate emphasis, "We are NOT and institute of higher learning, we are an educational services business". Managers hired with experience within the financial services and marketing sectors with little or no experience in education. Believed, because they are managers, they knew more about curriculum than faculty and constantly seeking to "lower the bar" to improve student retention. No respect for faculty expertise.

Advertised for a job that wasn't really the job

Invigilator (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 30 August 2022

I was completely taken aback when I realized that the job I thought I had interviewed for wasn't the job they were hiring for. Got to the orientation only to find that I was working in a capacity that I wasn't suited for. Staff were cold and unhelpful

Toxic culture

Support Staff (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 21 August 2022

I don't think I could ever find a worse work environment than Mohawk College. Would only recommend working here if you're desperate for money and health benefits.

No respect, pays well

Support Staff (Current Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 9 April 2021

If you are support staff or contract, you will not be respected by your peers or treated well. There is little room for advancement unless you are in management. The "Mohawk Family" thing does not vibe with me. There is an unspokenness that you should always be thinking about Mohawk and doing work even when you are not on the clock. It does pay well if you can look past everything else.

Pros

Pay, flexible during Covid

Cons

Management, work environment, no room for advancement

What a joke

EXECUTIVE CHEF (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 27 March 2021

I was asked to fill a much needed role, and accepted under the premise that I would be having a child and would need to take parental leave. All was accepted and I began my role. Went off on parental and then all of a sudden I needed to re apply for my role because the title had changed. Then I was replaced (still on parental leave) with a less qualified person who didn't last very long. Most of the management there had/ have no idea what they are doing.

Pros

None

Cons

Terrible Management

Great job opportunity for Mohawk students

Community access and engagement outreach assistant (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 15 June 2020

The CSEP program at Mohawk College is great as it allows students to work 15 hours a week maximum in order to balance their work-school ratio. Once you have developed a relationship with your employer your chances of getting re-hired once your contract ends are high.
