ST. JAMES-ASSINIBOIA SCHOOL DIVISION

What is the best part of working at the company?
Yes, decent staff, both management and employees, company pension, 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is a very poor union contact for everyone, there is no dental or vision plan. Dissapointed in this school division incomparison to other schools contracts in Winnipeg. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good, nothing stands out better then other divisions, just lacking in  health care benefits

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Same as other divisions. Can't say it's better or worse

The day is never boring/repetitive and the children and coworkers are great. You spend time supporting the classroom as a whole or with an individual child. This school division spends a lot of time outside and incorporates this into their learning schedule. The administration and resource team are very supportive and are always checking in with the staff and are open to new ideas/way of doing things.

Great if you are the admin’s type of person. Very much of a boys club where many people are left out and excluded if you are not the right type of person. Being polite and a team player has nothing to do with it, neither does working hard or going above and beyond your job description for the kids. Easy to feel you are not valued.

For those who are considered  important or popular= you are valued, great place. 

Definitely a social club. Very exclusive. 

Processing payrolls for management, teachers, union support staff on bi- weekly payrolls.

I was really excited to start but quickly realized I wasn't going to fit in. There was no training support and a very unfriendly environment. Staff would not acknowledge me even if I greeted them with a "good morning", the other secretary would make mistakes under my name when I got up to use the bathroom, some staff would laugh when the secretary was rude to me. I wanted to work in a respectful non-toxic workplace so I didn't stay long.

my day is typically fast paced & unpredictable. the children that i work with have taught me a lot about resilience & how to appreciate the small things. my coworkers have taught me how to not take things too personal when working with children & we are all doing the best we can with the time we are given.

Management treats some people like they have no value and others with great respect. Very exclusive. Hard work and dedication is not valued. Admin hire those they think are cool, or they like, not those who deserve the job. 

Great staff and principals are encouraging if you wish to make changes to the library for the betterment of the students. Budgets for the library can be a little low, but understandable as there are lots of areas competing for the same budget dollars.

This was my first job as a EA and I learned how enjoyable my job is. I love working with students and teachers and being part of a team to ensure the success of students.
