Being a full time student and balancing work is next to impossible. However, working with the U of S and for Huskie Athletics, they are very understanding and make it possible for you to earn some work experience and pay to help sustain your daily student life.

Management has no clue what they are doing there. They will change your shift with no questions asked to save a penny of overtime. They will not take your suggestions into consideration. You never feel job security there, you could be laid off any day of the week. Terrible work environment with very low morale.
Relaxed work, Great manager, Not productive Too collaborative - Lot of time spend in meetings to discuss how to decide if they ever decide Good for family
My role was managing staff and that was important to me. It made me feel good everyday that I was helping my staff. I'm glad the University saw that it was necessary to have someone in place to help staff in their roles, to help them problem solve.
Working in the lab with students and involved in other management decisions. Research and development is a key priority in my work. The hardest part of the job is getting past management bottlenecks.
Chill if you enjoy research. Flexible working hours. Campus is really nice. Good vibe between coworkers. Decent summer job. Definitely recommend to other students.
The university has a very outdated employment model that doesn't support growth or development. Working in a non-academic professional career is difficult because there are very few opportunities for advancement.
Loved, loved, loved! Working at the university great people great pay great everything. benefits are awesome earned days off for pretty much all full time positions
The UofS is struggling with financial issues and management leadership that has decreased the ability of employees to remain effective. There is no longer a clear culture of understanding roles. It's still a beautiful campus with good benefits.
Research Scientist (Employé actuel) – University of Saskatchewan – 30 septembre 2019
Working hours depends on your position, you can have a work/life balance. Beautiful Campus. They have very good facilities for research. it's moving forward.
Has the potential to be good, but it's located in Saskatchewan. A lot of money spent unnecessarily, with no real results given. Old fossils running programs that don't contribute, but hang on because of tenure.
Hard working community. Long term conditions unknown as I work as a contractor. The work requires an interesting integration of stakeholders, students and practitioners.
The university offers diverse possibilities of courses and opportunities for teaching and research, supporting its professionals with all they need, additionally to health care assistance.
I'm a student at the University of Saskatchewan, and I find my time on campus to be pretty productive and interactive. I'm able to get to my classes and sit comfortably through lectures.
The Office of University Relations is an amazing place to work for students, with fantastic team leadership. Students build relationships between the university and its Alumni while gathering demographic information and raising funds for current students.

Above minimum wage
Points négatifs
Occasional disrespect from Alumni, and periods of inactivity during shifts
Pros: Great physical environment; exceptional location; safe; motivating Cons: less diverse Overall: Good for professors and students; easy to find student jobs
A large opportunity to practice a wide variety of different dental treatments. The patient to student ratio is also very generous to allow for sufficient hands-on application of multiple procedures.
Working at the University of Saskatchewan provide opportunities to improve your knowledge and skills. It provided lots of fun and activity for students and staff.
An overall good place to work. Has a good workplace culture, socializing is encouraged. Hours can be quite flexible. Communication between departments can be a bit strained.
There are good opportunities for current students to gain research experience working with their professors and the pay is pretty good, too. The work can be physically demanding at times, but it depends on the area of research you work in.
It's a wonderful place to work. You get to grow as an individual and learn and have fun at the same time. Professors and students play games together in a friendly environment.
Points positifs
Lots of social programs to bring the whole department together
