Partial load is Part-time - doesn’t count
Professor (part-time) (Employé actuel) – Oakville, ON – 16 juillet 2019
Try getting a bank loan if you just work from contract to contract. Even if you work for years, why should a bank support you if you your job won’t even claim you as one of theirs?
Don’t get into academics! The union agreement says partial load jobs have job security, but because there are so many new full timers, which they did NOT hire from partial load, there are fewer and fewer partial load jobs. Management is sympathetic, they will even shed tears when they offer you fewer and fewer hours.
If you are faculty, there is no path to promotion.

leisurely
Residence Life Representative (Ancien employé) – Oakville, ON – 25 mai 2019
it was very relaxed physically. didn't have to lift heavy items, sat at a desk 90% of the time and did basic tasks which where actually fun enough to do and relaxing as well. lots of students are super kind as well. The management and full time staff however.... are questionable.
Best Job for Students
Peer Mentor (Ancien employé) – Brampton, ON – 2 mai 2019
Being a Peer Mentor was an amazing experience. This is one I would encourage all students to apply for. I was able to work one on one with students, guiding them to success over their semesters. I helped students manage their study and personal time and find a balance that best suited everyone. It was a rewarding position.
Points positifs
helping students succeed, helping students understand assignments, manage their time and much more.
Points négatifs
no cons this job was wonderful

Chilled environment
Project Coordinator - Facilities Projects (Employé actuel) – Oakville, ON – 20 mars 2019
Amazing co-workers and management.
Getting a permanent position is difficult even after working here for years but since the job is chilled out for most part of the year, there's good work life balance.

I think the journey to become a university has some folks a little bewildered, but that aside, the college is doing its best to navigate in a very challenging financial environment.

IT specialist (Ancien employé) – Davis campus, brampton – 10 janvier 2019
Day start with a line of student and faculty member asking for help; provide solution to them make me feel happy because I solve problem to someone.
- All cultures are respected
- The hardest part is when you do not have the answer for the problem, but there is always someone ready to help.

Flexible and Fun
Peer Tutor (Ancien employé) – Oakville, ON – 9 janvier 2019
The management was supportive and encouraging during my tenure. As a Peer Tutor, you manage your own time and appointments so you can take on as much or as little as you want which was great since I was taking 6 courses alongside tutoring. The pay was alot lower than expected and the pay schedule was sometimes weird. They only pay minimum wage usually and limit your maximum hours to 10/week so you probably can't live off what you earn but it was nice for some extra pocket change.

Social Media Coordinator (Employé actuel) – Oakville, ON – 22 novembre 2018
Sheridan provides wonderful opportunities to explore, grow and learn. I have been challenged while giving the resources and support necessary to achieve every goal.
nice students but no job security and no community support
Communications/ESL professor (Ancien employé) – Mississauga, ON – 30 octobre 2018
Students were lovely and great class sizes but this is a very lonely place to teach with absolutely no guarantees for job advancement or job security. Although the odd person is helpful the administration and management have high expectations on each teacher yet provide very little guidance or assistance. Furthermore, the turn over rate is high for contract workers and they are made to feel like they are not valued, required or appreciated (only full timers seem to matter) yet these workers are still required to attend meetings and provide ideas and feedback. These seems counter productive and adds a lot of stress to the individual worker.
Points positifs
nice students
Points négatifs
high level of anxiety due to lack of job security
