Good job security, poor management

Instructional Assistant (Former Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 26 August 2017

I enjoyed my three years working at VCC. I am an alumni so it was incredible to give back to the students all that I have learned in the industry and keep with the integrity that I knew VCC to have when I was once a student there. Unfortunately there was a change in management, and a personal poor experience where I did not feel supported or well looked after as an employee. I am an over achiever, a go getter and push for change to get the best results. Unfortunately this is not the culture at VCC.

Pros

Good pay

Cons

Poor work environment

Too much change and lost too many good people.

Aboriginal Advisor (Former Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 11 April 2016

I enjoyed working with the students helping them decide on careers and how to get there. Watching and helping with their journey from applicant to graduate. I enjoyed the interaction with my co-workers in the Counselling and Advising Department, they were awesome and the best.coworkers anyone could ask for. There were many changes over the years and some were not for the best.

Administrative changes over the years, not in the schools best interest.

A Great Place to Learn

Administrative Assistant on Practicum (Former Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 12 January 2016

Vancouver Community College has given me the opportunity to participate in its work experience program. Through this program I was able to work at Vision 7 and gain more experience in the field of Office Administration.

Great work environment with fantastic co-workers

Facilities Coordinator (Former Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 7 August 2015

Great direct boss. A lot of team building exercises which I really enjoyed. Was in the heart of down town Vancouver which was a big plus. Most enjoyable part of my job was interacting with outside companies and organizations and seeing them happy with the work that I did. It was a big company but my boss made sure we got treated well and acknowledged our hard work. A con would be that there was not room to move up in the company

Pros

Great co-workers

Cons

Having to work evenings and weekends on a regular basis

Summer program that filled last summer

Automotive Worker (Former Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 20 July 2015

Working at VCC was mainly just a summer program that is currently running. I usually weld metal and make parts for cars and go karts. I have learned many elements of teamwork and coordination into making vehicles. Management and my co-workers were enjoyable during down time, but we were mostly on task. The hardest part was learning how to use a new machine or tool but after learning how to do so it was the most enjoyable part.

Wonderful place to work.

ESL Instructor (Current Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 10 May 2015

If government funding had not been cut off, I would have gladly worked there until my retirement (in 16 more years).

I was a free-spirited wanderer until I worked at VCC. Finally, a job that made me want to stay in one place.

Good pay, good benefits, and good people.

Happy to work here !

Computer Support Analyst, IT (Current Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 4 February 2015

many positive attitudes in the educational environment. All facilities looks good. Teams are helping each other.

It is a college environment. You want to look for your career advance. It may not provide you many opportunities.

Friendly environment

Security Guard (Current Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 17 July 2014

Very relaxing environment, with lots of friendly people. A typical day involves providing access to classrooms, customer service, attending to injured employees or students, and removal of undesirables. Writing reports, documentation and keeping track of whose working on site are the most important aspects of the job.

Highly productive and proplem solving

Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) – Vancouver , BC – 30 July 2012

- In my last job, I earned a reputation for being highly responsible by handling what ever duties my boss assigned me and by being flexible and doing anything that was required of me to get the job done.

- My last employer was very happy with my skills. In fact, he once said I was like the “heart and soul” of the company.

- My reliability is one of the most my characteristics and my boss and my colleagues could always count on me to complete my tasks well and on time.

- The most hardest part of the job is that I do not have any challanges.

- The most enjoyable part is when I do solve a problem and would make a satisfaction feelings in others.
