TEACHING AND RESEARCH ASSISTANT (Current Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 14 March 2019
Productive, engaging, and challenging work with a great location and services. Working with like-minded individuals that care about you and your livelihood. Fair pay, benefits, and a union to boot!
Interesting environment
Instructor (Current Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 17 January 2019
Work involves interaction with international students from many different countries. The dynamics of teaching is the most satisfying aspect of the work. The small size of classes allows for good opportunities to get to know the students on a more personal level. The central location of the University allows for minimal commute times and bus service to the area is quite good.
It was a good job
Teacher's Assistant (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 7 January 2019
My job was pretty casual, and whenever I did work I was mostly just watching students do their exams and making sure they didn't cheat. Helping professors gather the exams and sometimes marking them.

U of w wlc
Program Assistant (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 28 March 2018
I was hired for a short term contract at the WiichiiWaakanak Learning Centre. The computer lab I worked in was accessible to the public so security was often an issue. The manager displayed poor team building skills.
City style work
Service Worker 3 (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 14 March 2018
Lots of down time, coupled with vacancy management style. Often split between tasks at a moments notice. Reported to multiple bosses throughout a typical day. Learned a great deal about government funded organizational culture. Gained years of experience in maintaining and managing public access/private access building. Interdepartmental communication was poor. Experienced frustrations because of miss direction. The challenges where many. The most valuable experiences where maintaining 100,000 plus sq. ft. buildings.
Pros
Inner city location, lots of public interaction
Cons
No REAL job descritpion
It's a post secondary institution
Service Desk Technician (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 27 November 2017
I don't have a ton to say about working there other than it's a good place to work but you don't get paid very well at all. Definitely below industry norms.
Studying better and being a Research assistant
Research Assistant (Current Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 25 September 2017
The workplace of the University is amazing. As I go there 2days a week it always feel me with so much new information and great knowledge.
But the hardest part of the work is that I always have to come up with new ideas based on others works and get good results on that to accomplished a good paper.
However, It's not an official job but I have to always be updated and full of new ideas. Since being a Research assistant is part of being a good student and I always been the best student in my whole education background its an important task for me.

Gaining new informations everyday
not quit sure yet, has not much experience with them
Instructor (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 19 June 2017
The classes are a bit smaller than the U of Manitoba. However the students might be a bit weaker than those of U of Manitoba. However, the students of U of Winnipeg might be more appreciating towards the instructors. I have worked with the U of Manitoba Math Department and the U of Winnipeg Math Department, but I think the U of Winnipeg Math Department better treats the sessional instructors.
Basketball court at the Health and Recplex
Volunteer powwow club instructor before hiring (Current Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 22 March 2017
The basketball court at the health and recplex is a good space to practice the powwow dance but can get quite hot and is small, which gives us dancers a disadvantage. The powwow club program is a great way to teach the youth and adults about the Aboriginal culture and dance.
Pros
free lunch with program, chairs provided for everyone, helpful staff, fan, water
Cons
Hot, smaller space
Great place to feel you make a difference

Interning in the Anthropology Department
Intern (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 30 January 2017
I would say my time interning at the University in the Department of Anthropology was one of the best opportunities I have had. I learned a lot about the field and got a first hand glimpse at what it is like to be a curator for artifacts. I had a lot of fun in the short time I was there, I learned a lot social and organization skills there that have proven to be very beneficial for me in both my professional and personal life.
