University of Manitoba Employee Reviews for Office Assistant

Good place to work, not as flexible on hours or part time opportunities as I would like. It can be difficult to move or advance to different roles based on experience and skills as seniority takes priority.

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,

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.

Interesting workplace and enjoyed varied tasks

Office Assistant (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, Manitoba - 27 February 2015

I enjoyed working in a medical, educational and research environment. I felt part of a team and enjoyed working alone or with others on tasks. The most enjoyable part of the job was the variety of tasks and the people I worked with. The hardest part of the job was when I was layed off and a few other people were also layed off.

Pros

Weekdays, Weekends off

Cons

Layed off

Great place to work
