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.

Really Helped me learn to problem solve and communicate

Research/Teaching Assistant

Research Assistant (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 26 October 2019

Being a graduate student is not easy. The only way to make a little money is to get Research and/or Teaching Assistantship. It will give you enough money to survive, but by no means a comfortable life. So you feel underpaid. But you are in it to get a Master or PhD degree, so that is ok.
