Productive and fun working with the highest level of experienced team
Work at SFU can be divided into two phases: work with undergrad students and work with the research team. Both situations are productive and fun because in one phase my personal knowledge should be transferred to a group of students and in another phase I should learn from other scientists. in latter phase I learn machine learning and digital soil mapping. My supervisors are well experienced and I really enjoy working with them. The best part of the job in the first phase is to see students' satisfaction and respect. In the second phase the best time is when I overcome a difficult scientific situation such as writing a successful script.
Supportive and lots of resources to help you
An amazing experience, the management is amazing, the workplace culture is very casual in face to face but professional through emails, people are nice and lots of students around
Pros
Campus full of services
Cons
Mountain in the snow

Ambiente de trabajo muy pesado
La cultura en el departamento de recursos humanos deja mucho que desear. Mala administración sin metas y objetivos claros. Los equipos del departamento están altamente segregados y hay poca colaboración entre equipos.
La directora del departamento de Recursos Humanos no cuenta con un titulo universitario y así mismo desprecia a quién los tiene entre sus subordinados.
La oportunidad de acenso está limitada a personalidades afines y no a metas logradas ni a capacidad superior laboral.

Job security but little room to grow
SFU is a decent place to work, good salary and good benefits. But there is little room to grow for most staff unless you are one of the chosen few. Most managers have no idea of how to manage people and care mostly about staying relevant and keeping their jobs. Fellow staff are pretty good but theres lots of back stabbing and gossip. Parking is expensive with few spots.
Fun, interactive workplace
In a typical day at work, my role was to work in a team environment and coordinate our responsibilities throughout the game. As the college players were on the field, I adapted to the rotation of the game and helped the referees and team by retrieving the ball. The most enjoyable part of this job was working in a team environment in a positive workplace.
I worked as a team player so it required lots of communication, patience and understanding and due to this the productivity of the work was better and
the day starts with helping customers, attending phone queries, and responding to the emails.
I learned that different people have different needs and views.
Hardest part in any job is when the customers screams and swear at me.
The most enjoyable part for me at the job would be when I accomplish
a task successfully.
