Great place to work as TA, nice opportunity for a student to gain some work experience and extra money. Professors are usually nice, but requires good grades for the course and put in academic efforts.

Large corperation. Excellent staff in my department but hard to get things done in the grander scale.

Teaching Assistant (Theatre Department) (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 10 March 2016

The job I had is fairly easy and exciting and my coworkers are fantastic. It helped me develop a ton of skills that I enjoy utilizing on a daily basis. The hardest part is simply dealing with the University's odd bureaucracy.

Fun workplace with amazing co-workers

Anatomy and Physiology Teaching Assistant (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 10 August 2015

Before we start teaching the students the TA's always met 30 minutes prior to in the lab. We sometimes bring in food to share and eat in the lunch room and talk about our lives as university students. Most of us were in the same faculty so we had a lot in common an even were in the same classes together.

Pros

Fun atmosphere

Cons

Long hours

Good work environment

Teaching Assistant (Former Employee) - University of Manitoba - 9 June 2014

The staff and other teaching assistant members were friendly and understanding. A typical day involved being in the lab supervising the students for 3 hours per lab. The hardest part was difficult students and the best part was watching them get excited about the lab.
