LAB INSTRUCTOR (Former Employee) – Manitoba – 1 April 2018
A good place to get started, but the lack of advancement options plus HR mandates in hiring policies makes it unlikely that the best person will get the job
Instructor (Current Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 28 May 2018
It takes passion and relevant, advanced skills to become a leader. PACE provides the tools through industry-recognized instructors and flexible training options.
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.
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.

The university of winnipeg is an excellent place to work. The faculty are very friendly and share a love of knowledge production, consumption, and distribution
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
Language helper (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 9 July 2016
fun and comfortable place to lean about different culture and meet new people around the world. its a wide working place where students from different country come to learn English and Canada culture. I'm so glad to share my experience with them, and at the same time learn about their culture and where there are from.
Transcriber (Current Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 28 April 2016
There are many different jobs on the campus of U of Wpg, but they all share a fast-pace and intensely social environment full of students and staff. It's a great place to work if you are someone committed to lifelong learning and enjoy opportunities to become engaged in special interest groups and the community.
Pros
Progressive, liberal workplace
Cons
Many jobs dry up and disappear over the summer break
Research Participant (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 26 February 2016
