Teaching has been my life-long passion.  When I first started as an instructor, I was heartened by many of the impressive-sounding policies and the various supports available to students and teachers.  As time passed, I started to realize that those initial impressions were nothing but an illusion.  Too many of the instructors are overworked and undersupported.  I count myself as one of them.  At staff meeting after staff meeting, I hear my colleagues express their legitimate concerns to school management but little to nothing has improved because of it.  I've come to the conclusion that the leadership may talk a good game but are ultimately toxic.  I feel that over the years the quality of the learning experience for students in my program has deteriorated because the instructors are under more stress than is necessary.

The managerial style is a top down directive approach despite a cloak of perceived engagement initiatives. Everyone is scared to say anything meaningful as it’s likely to get you terminated. This institution is famous for terminating without cause. The management is a bunch of long term old school under educated bullies.  There is a constant push of new changes and never any consideration for needed time and resources in any meaningful way of support. I would not recommend employment at this institution. 

Management is disorganized with little to no foresight. The organization is full of red tape, with an ineffective training program as upper management is over educated and under advised as to the scope of program provision being delivered at the organization. Work environment differs by department, but in general, after consultation with other department staff, work environment is stressful, and management favors electronics, nursing/ health technologies/ parts management programs. I wish I had not uprooted my life for this organization. They will do everything in their power to deceive you out of fair pay and benefits. constant relationship with union representation is essential to prevent wrong doing by management and HR.

Students run wild like it’s an elementary school with zero consequence. Work is piled on and the programs don’t invest in improvement. Management expects people to work on projects with no extra time or pay. Human Resources is an absolute dumpster fire and it seems as though they don’t know exactly what they are doing. All of their policies and procedures read like a choose your own adventure with no correct path. They make up new and useless management positions seemingly daily and the people they put in these positions don’t even know what their job is, so they just smile like a chimpanzee and act like they know what they are doing and that it’s important somehow. This organization has truly lost its way in the past 5 years. 

While being at Saskatchewan Polytechnical I was a student.  The only work I did was improving my computer skills and any other skills I needed to work on.  I enjoyed my experience and I am happy I was able to experience the oppurtunity.  Worked on thinking skills in the mornings and the afternoon mostly consisted of computer skills.  I also recieved another customer service certificate and strive to build my customer service skills.

Nobody works too hard and pay is fairly standard for the industry. It's a comfortable place for someone who isn't striving to grow professionally. Inner bureaucracy kills any ingenuity or chance at improving the way the way the school functions. This employer will remain the same forever due to stagnant leadership.

I instructed Computer software classes to adults with no experience with computers.  I then was recruited by the adult learning extension supervisor to deliver an Electricity Introduction program for company specific staff in the electrical industry.

High turnover in management positions. Senior Leaders are a revolving door. The ones who stay are closed minded and not people focused. New and fresh ideas cannot be embraced and lack of emotional support . Instead these ideas are attacked by the insecure. Understaffing critical areas and failure to respond to middle management concerns around overworking staff.

A typical for my position was visiting high schools across SK to educate prospective students about post-secondary options after graduation.  Very fulfilling job for me. SK polytech has great benefits and a good working environment.

Saskatchewan Polytechnic is a very good place to work. The work-life balance is excellent. You will always feel respectable. Management will give you every chance to prove yourself in the company. I've always enjoyed working at Saskatchewan Polytechnic.
