Not so Great
NSERC Post-doctoral Fellow (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 26 March 2018
No real benefits for post-docs, lowly paid, no professional advancement. Stressful work culture. Other universities are better in terms of benefits and overall improvement in post-doctoral experience.
Fairly good work environment
Marketing Executive (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 11 March 2018
Good learning experience but there is no room to grow within this organization. Simply hired as a contract, to get work done seasonly.
I have learned a great deal and it is a good place to work for your first job!

A fantastic place to work at, there is alway something new to learn.
Budget Support Officer (Arts and Science (Current Employee) – Toronto – 8 March 2018
Excellent employer. Great benefits such as the defined pension contribution, tuition reimbursement for dependant children and self (though capped), vacation days, professional development courses offered in-house at ODLC etc. There is always something new to learn.
However, in my opinion, UofT adopted policies and structure that hinders career growth rather than encourage it.
Overall, a fantastic place to work at.

Research comprises "creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of humans, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications."[1] It is used to establish or confirm facts, reaffirm the results of previous work, solve new or existing problems, support theorems, or develop new theories. A research project may also be an expansion on past work in the field. Research projects can be used to develop further knowledge on a topic, or in the example of a school research project, they can be used to further a student's research prowess to prepare them for future jobs or reports. To test the validity of instruments, procedures, or experiments, research may replicate elements of prior projects or the project as a whole.
