It's a bit subjective, but if I had to give you a straight answer I would say yes, both should count. The big distinction these schools are trying to make is work that accrued on a part-time basis either during school (a few hours a week) or during break between school (i.e. summer internship.) It sounds like what you are describing is full-time work, just not technically permanent employment.
To be safe, I would contact the admissions office at Rotman and that of any other school to which you are applying to be safe. They will tell you definitively if it meets a requirement.
Good luck,
