It's easy work if you know your subject and you will find yourself working a lot less than the number of hours you are paid for. Depending on the professor you work under there will literally no micro management.

Not really fun to work as a student

Printing centre clerk, customer service (Ancien employé) - Ottawa, ON - 9 février 2022

Not really fun to work as a student. Work from home since the beginning of covid. No really any benefits for contract workers. It is not busy but stressful.

Good TA experience

Teaching Assistant (Ancien employé) - Ottawa, ON - 18 décembre 2021

The TA experience was good. The process to go through was pretty quick and simple. You're given a set number of hours to work per term, and while you can go over that and get paid more, that's pretty rare. Overall it's a pretty good gig.

Fun place to work

Lab Instructor (Ancien employé) - Ottawa, ON - 17 novembre 2021

Fun, but not much chance for an advancement, contract work. Learned how to run experiments for undergrad students. The culture was okay, not much drama.

Depends what unit you work in

Human Resources Officer (Employé actuel) - Ottawa, ON - 9 novembre 2021

My personal experience at the Faculty of Social Sciences has been amazing, but your experience will vary LARGELY depending on your work group. There are dozens of little 'mini-cultures' scattered throughout the university, so it is difficult to determine whether you are getting a good environment before starting. Overtime is very common across the uni, and I regularly receive emails on the weekend and at 11pm, but I personally do not need to work overtime very often. The university does offer a lot of amazing benefits, and in my opinion, they really do care about their employees. They gave us the day before Victoria Day and the Day after Canada day as university-wide holidays, to compensate for the difficult working environment during the pandemic. They also had many free lunches/activities across campus all summer for the staff. Unfortuantely, if you are looking for a cutting-edge and innovation WORKING environment, this is not the place. They are VERY slow to adapt to change, so do not expect modern policies, efficient programs, and innovative managers! In this way, the uni is just like other government institutions; inefficient and unnecessarily difficult to get certain things done. Things eventually become modernized, but don't expect it to come quickly.

Points positifs

Employee benefits (free food, days off, university wide Christmas holiday, vaccine clinics, etc.), Many opportunities for advancement

Points négatifs

Parking ($$$, and hard to get a spot), very bureaucratic, pay below gov. alternatives, ancient systems/software (finance, hr, payroll, etc.)

Perspective from an RPN employed at this clinic.

RPN (Ancien employé) - 100 Marie Curie - 19 octobre 2020

Worked at UOHS for 2.5 years. It started to go very down hill over the last year. Unable to keep nursing and reception staff at this point. Extremely poor managed office. Lack of professionalism by all upper management. Nursing Team Leader and Reception Manager lack maturity and proper ethics to effectively run the department. No HR team in place currently. No room for advancement as an RPN. Currently not offering any type of raises to any staff or performance review. Toxic work environnement. Very little to no positive feedback from Nursing team lead. Job posting looks good on paper but please remember to read reviews on other websites as well to really understand what is going inside that clinic before wasting your time. Sending good luck to all those RPN's looking for a positive job change but this place is not where you will find that. This is coming from a someone who left and it was the best choice I could have made. Only regret is not leaving sooner.

Points positifs

Good hours, day shifts, benefit package, little to no holidays or weekends

Constant problem-solving and challenges

Graduate Student (Ancien employé) - Ottawa, ON, Canada - 23 septembre 2020

Worked/studied as a grad student in science for 2.5 years at uOttawa. Work was engaging and stimulating, but days were long and work is always taken home with you. Pay is bad by employment standards, but breaking even while earning a degree is an absolute win. Experiences depend solely on department/supervisor.

Points positifs

High-paced and engaging work.

Points négatifs

Very little free time.

As a student, this is the best you can get. Not ideal.

Machine Learning and NLP Research Assistant (Ancien employé) - Ottawa, ON - 30 août 2020

Not an ideal job, but as a student, a Research Assistant positions is pretty much all you can get. You get flexible hours, and if you have an understanding supervisor, you can easily balance your work and life.

Flexible

Note taker/student tutor (Ancien employé) - Ottawa, ON - 10 août 2020

Note taking was collaborative and flexible. I was able to take my own notes and work collaboratively with another student notetaker and the student. It's an excellent job for a first year student in the work student program.

Points négatifs

there was no standardized note taking module/program. We ended up making our own.
