Is not a place to work if you like consistency and clear job duties.

Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) - Brockville, ON - 20 July 2023

Parking pass is almost a weeks pay. Management turnover has created chaos. Jobs are changing so quickly that you are always trying to figure out what to do next. Other duties as assigned is more common than it should be.

Was a good job right up until the contract ended. No communication from management at IT desk.

IT Service Desk Analyst (Former Employee) - Kingston Campus - 13 September 2022

The IT desk was pretty relaxed. The students and faculty who come in are all very nice. Was a great job to balance between work and school because they only give you 12 hours per week, and according to the union contract they have to work around your schedule. However, no one bothered to let me know that my contract had ended, so I was left hanging for about a week in limbo. The job was great -- management, not so much.

Really Lovely Place!

Human Resources Assistant (Former Employee) - Kingston, ON - 11 July 2022

The work, I found, was good and challenging. Plenty of support, so you never felt overwhelmed or underappreciated. And their focus on work-life balance was strong, always wanting to make sure you and your mental health were the top priority.

Pros

Remote work, lots of workshops, and good benefits

Cons

None

Great place for a student to work.

IT Service Desk Analyst (Current Employee) - Kingston - 23 March 2022

The school is required to work around your schedule if you are a student so it takes a lot of stress off during the semester. They can only give you about twelve hours per week due to their collective agreement, but it works out depending on how intensive your program is. Overall, great place to work if you are a student.

Even though I had a seasonal job, my experience was really good.

Spanish Instructor (Former Employee) - Brockville, ON - 23 February 2022

I worked at the St Lawrence College for 5 years in a row, and even though my job position was seasonal, I had a good experience as a teacher. The payment was fair enough and the coworkers, the secretary, etc., were very collaborative.

Only a good company if on Kingston Campus

Professor (Former Employee) - Brockville - 14 July 2021

Poor management. Little job security for most employees . Good caring coworkers who succeed in spite of the organisation, not because of it. Unrealistic expectations and definitely don't be good at your job- you will have to do everyone else's- including your manager's. No support. No resources for doing your job properly. High turn over and burn out rate. "Students first" only applies to Kingston Campus.

Pros

Good people work there who truly care about students

Cons

Management is horrible. HORRIBLE. Unless you are applying for Kingston Campus, don't. ..like...run now.

At St. Lawrence college the working environment was very acceptable and it had all the three dimensions of EDI covered at workplace.

Research Assistant (Current Employee) - Kingston, ON - 15 December 2020

The working environment with the WICE team was very warm and professional. As being a student jumping from student environment to workplace environment the transition has always been difficult. I had many things to learn as how to overcome my mistakes and how not to make or repeat the same mistake.

Very high turnover

Short Order Cook (Former Employee) - Kingston, ON - 31 October 2020

Very high staff turnover. Management played favorites. Demanded loyalty but did not return it. Lack of communication between staff and management. During busy times management hid in the office, rarely helped out. Micromanagement of pennies while dollars were wasted.

Pros

Good hours with seniority

Cons

expected to be available anytime with no notice

Creative, productive and a pleasant work place

PROFESSOR (Former Employee) - Kingston, ON - 26 June 2020

A pleasant environment to work at, with available opportunities of self development. If a teacher manages his/her time a bit carefully, one can have ample oppertunity of establishing healthy interaction with the students, which may prove very supportive in improving students leaning capabilities

Pros

Lecture rooms equipped with necessary tools and equipments

Cons

Access to the needed software requires to be more easily available

great place to work part time

LIBRARY CIRCULATION ASSISTANT (Current Employee) - Kingston, ON - 1 April 2020

a typical day at work would look like, you get there, you are greeted by lovely staff and you proceed to check in and out books and follow any other assigned tasks such as shelf reading. the most difficult park would be knowing how the printers worked and all of the printer functions.

productive but stressful

Nursing Student Placement (Current Employee) - Kingston, ON - 4 November 2019

as a student, we of course did not get paid but professors tended to be very 'clique' like and would pick which students they liked and which ones they did not. Many are treated unfairly in the nursing program.

I work on my own pace and the head of the departments are very helpful.

Peer Notetaker (Former Employee) - Cornwall, ON - 26 October 2019

I work as a peer tutor and a note taker for the College. The students and the teachers pick me to do the job, I have not applied to do it. It made me acknowledge my own strength and trust in my ability by having the students and instructors nominate me to do the job. I thank the students and the instructors for believing in me.
