NIce Environment
Summer Research Intern (Former Employee) – Manitoba – 5 August 2018
UofM is a very beautiful campus and the people are very friendly and collaborative there. The multicultural scenario makes it easier for students and workers coming from other countries to adapt. The only downside I can think is that Winnipeg is a very cold city, so think well before taking the decision of going there.
Pros
Friendly, beautiful, multicultural
Cons
Cold
Non-stressful work days
Standardized Patient (Current Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 19 July 2018
Generally not difficult work days. The hardest part of the job is if you have a script and have had a long day, the lines can get a little muddled but other than that it's hard to screw up this job.
Pros
Free Lunches, long breaks, nice coworkers
Cons
can be boring
A good place to work
Technician (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 2 July 2018
It is a good place to work.
Salary and benefits are OK.
The job security is not great because the positions are usually dependant on the financial situation of the institution at a given moment.
Advancement is not great either. The university does not help with the costs of studies at the institution or with the cost of summer programs for the children of its employees.

University professor position
Assistant/Associate Professor (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 25 June 2018
This position is little unusual position when the review is compared to other industrial position. Typical university professor position focused on the teaching and research.
Professional co-workers; exciting, dynamic venue
Program Coordinator - CPD Medicine (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 25 June 2018
A typical day at work was not typical. Every day offered something different, and this made the job interesting.
In the six months of my term I had three different managers, so that part was a bit difficult, but my co-workers more than made up for it!
The hardest part of the job was having to completely rely on others -- ie: security, supplies, plant personnel, caterers, exhibitors/sponsors, speakers -- to come together to ensure a successful event.
Seeing an event unfold was so rewarding! Doctors must keep informed what's new and interesting in the medical world, and it was fulfilling to be an important part of that.

Central to Learning
Graphic Design Sessional Instructor (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 30 April 2018
University of Manitoba is a great place to work. It is also an awesome place for lifelong learning for individuals and professionals. Working at the U of M provides the opportunity to meet many creative professionals, passionate researchers, experienced teachers, and eager students every day.
The main campus is set in a bow of the Red River, close to parks, restaurants, and various professional business and recreation centres in the area. It is also a terminal for Rapid Transit, the quickest access to Winnipeg downtown and Exchange District.

Treasurer Assistant of science faculty (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 18 April 2018
the enjoyable part of the job is that your actually providing a service for people. i also like managing anything to be honest and i am also uncomfortably punctual and honest sometimes even to honest for instance if i notice that someone is slacking in their responsibilities i indirectly criticize them for being irresponsible. i believe in order for you to succeed and reach your goal in anything for that matter, you have to put your mind into it and work really hard to achieve it. nothing in this world is for free.
Pros
learning a new experience
Cons
long hours of work
Productive place
