Department is Key
Working for the University of Calgary has been terrific, and I have been fortunate enough to work with a very collaborative and inspiring team. My understanding from other staff is that being a part of the right team with the right managers is key to how successful and satisfied you are at the University.
Research based positions are interesting
Unfortunately academic advisors are not held to employment standards of public enterprises. My advisor was burdened by a teaching schedule, his own research and research and it was not really a complete project at the end of the research.
An excellent place to learn and grow in a supportive environment
A great place to develop professional skills as a graduate student with aspirations to delve further in to a professional career. I found it a great atmosphere to expand in my field and learned a plethora of interpersonal skills.
Pros
Inclusive and supportive
Cons
Long hours but you get what you put in to it.

Share your experience to help others
Each department is a different experience created by managment
Overall, there are a lot of lifers at U of C which makes it a decent place to work in some departments. Individual managers make or break your success and stability. This is the case with all large institutions.

A Great Work Environment
I love working at the U of C's Student Calling Program. It is a very collaborative environment that brings people together from many different backgrounds. My job is interesting as a supervisor, because I get to work on a smattering of projects throughout my shift- administrative tasks, caller-support, making personal phone-calls to prospects whose donations were wrongly processed, etc. It can be stressful when you are the only one supervising a shift, but I enjoy it!
Bullying is part of the norm and encouraged by senior management
It a good place to work if you dont mind having HR ask you to spy and report back to them information regarding your collegues.
Respect is not a given nor is it earned. If you play along you get along until you do not.

Competitive and Collaborative
The job as a teaching assistant is same like a teacher. I have to take classes, clear the doubts if any student had. Encouraging the student to work in a group for laboratory to enhance team skills.
Pros
Interaction with Students which will help you with your communication skills
Cons
Nothing
