Run Away
Electrical and Life Safety Manager (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 4 June 2021
Horrible. Director has no clue what to do with employees, Verbal abuse, first place I've worked where the employees tell management what to do, Other manager abusive, swearing and yelling but he buys Starbucks for the Director so he is golden. I could go on but why, if you like a slack attitude as a worker and politics this is the place for you. Absolutely no innovation and safety, 1970's mentality.

entry point screener
Entry Point Screener (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 9 December 2020
categorized as “student office assistant” means we’re basically nobodies on campus, zero job benefits and unorganized management. Cutting them some slack as this is a brand new COVID position but we have no on-site supervisors 99% of the time and have to figure everything out ourselves, then the supervisor tells us what we should have done. High turnover as it’s an unskilled position with no benefits or job security, we’re given no clue how long the position will even last. No priority given to people who have worked here longer, they keep hiring new people so they can give us less hours/shorter shifts and cut down on overtime pay. I lucked out and got some amazing coworkers but I’ll be quitting as soon as I have a full time position lined up. Also for some reason students are paid less than non-students for the same position and duties??
Pros
long stretches where you can do your own work at the desk, good coworkers, relatively good pay for an unskilled job
Cons
no job security, can be tedious, no break room or job benefits of any kind

Only paid as a beginner always
Research Assistant (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 29 May 2020
Only paid as a beginner always.
No hope for job security. No promotion. Specially if you are a research associate, you are left in limbo. Never expect to get what you deserve.

Fast paced with learning opportunities
Part-time Graduate Research and Admin Assistant (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 17 May 2020
I have worked at the University of Manitoba as a student researcher and administrative assistant for a total of 10 years during my Masters and now my PhD. There is always something different to do every day. Some days its lab work, others its administration. My time working here has also allowed me to help with publications, write some of my own, and even go to archaeological digs as a member of the team while working.
The most challenging aspect of the job is that it can be time consuming, stressful and fast-paced at times. However, these periods are short lived and the job is very rewarding.

Really Helped me learn to problem solve and communicate
Teaching and Research Assistant (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 16 April 2020
During my time here, I would receive numerous questions on a weekly basis from students. Each time it involved tailoring explanations that made sense to them. Additionally, weekly meetings were held among other TAs to communicate, problems, fairness, and other methods on how we can improve the learning experience for the students
Pros
Flexible hours
Cons
More work than given hours

fun place
Peer Advisor & Peer Tutor (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 5 February 2020
typical is a characteristic or behavior that is normal and expected for a given person or thing or in a given situation. An example of something that would be described as typical is your typical boring day at work where you do the same things you do every other day.

Diversified and friendly workplace
Volunteer (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 29 January 2020
As a volunteer my experience was remarkable. On a typical day, I complied with the management requirements. Developing interpersonal skills and problem-solving strategies were the two most important things I have learned. The management staffs were supportive and friendly. Also workplace had a diversified culture. The hardest part of the job was to keep up with the number of students. Being able to participate with the students was the most enjoyable part of the job.

Job satisfaction will dependend upon where & who you work with, in the university you work.
Office Assistant II - Part-time (Former Employee) - University of Manitoba (Fort Garry campus), MB - 26 January 2020
Many people are very nice & helpful, but some long term employees are difficult personalities, & no one seems willing or able to provide support. Also, the environment was one of the dirtest places I've ever worked in. Cleaning staff never actually cleaned, till I spoke to the janitoral staff supervisor, about the dust balls on the floor & how filthy my shoes got. Bathrooms were never cleaned. Stairs & stairwells had coffee spills on the floor & walls,

Casual employment
Office Assistant (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 22 January 2020
Working as a casual employee for several years is difficult to gain permanent offers.
I enjoyed the staff and environment very much but need something more stable.
