In my interview for recruitment they told me that it involved travel. They would not describe or give examples as to the schedule. They said it alternated weeks, where the following week of travel you would be in the office. It ended up being just same travel but within calgary. Shifts were standing for several hours at a time, unable to shift or move due to crowds and engaging. Travel was three events a day, barely enough time for set up and take down and you are not paid for the gaps in between events, even if you are on the road and maybe cannot check in to your hotel yet. Sometimes it was 12 hour days but you werent paid for about 4 hours. Management had no communication on expectations. Thankfully there was documentation and My coworkers were incredible, we all worked together to make it work. I kept requesting feedback and never got anything constructive, management does not have leadership training or people management skills. 

-Great culture of community at the university. Common to see the same people multiple times through out the day.
-University host many opportunities for mission and identity training sessions.
-A typical day at work: no telling with college students. I worked and lived on campus managing a freshman residence hall.
-Management: 1 on 1 mentoring. Great caring leaders.
-Additional Benefits: Meal Plan, Housing on campus
-Most Enjoyable: making a difference in peoples lives.

The work has mainly taught me how to work as a team, independence, leadership, organization skills, personnel management, financial budgeting, logistics, time management, and hosting events.
I enjoyed my time as VP of events for the student council at the university I attended. I have definitely learned a lot from the experience. 
The hardest part of the job was how some people in student council would sometimes choose to be uncooperative, which made my work a little difficult.

Typical day at work included helping students, staff, and visitors with questions about the campus - including directions, lost and found, any problems they are having. Main duties included responding to any alarms that may sound around campus and from the field officers. Management was good as were my co-workers. I learned how to manage handling serious events and what to do with serious events.

A great place to work with lots of opportunities to advance and learn. enjoyed the team I worked with, all very positive and helpful to each other.  Management was always helpful and listened to resolve any issues relating to work or personal time off.  I would work there again at a moments notice.

It was a good job to have during my time in school. Was not the most profitable, but the small amount did help with bills. Working in the gym was awesome because I got to work out and get paid. The basketball games were a little inconvenient due to the weekends but was not bad overall!

Working there was good times 
Boss was a great to work for. 
Co-worker were fun. 
Going out of your comfort zone was a great experience and helps with future jobs. 
Best place to work. Friendly students  makes it great experience.

Small department with a friendly atmosphere. Tasks varied from recruiting participants, designing surveys to conducting statistical analysis. Great way to see the inner workings of a university psychology department.

a vibrant university focusing on evidenced based practice. modules were a broad range of the most important aspects of sports rehab and aimed to provide the most up to date practices

no appreciation at all for hard working power engineers. very disrespectful employer. management hired with goal of eliminating employees with as much as 40 years of service
