Wonderful Departments, Horrific Bureaucrats - Senior Administrative Assistant NYU (New York University) Employee Review

Pros

Most of the faculty and staff that you interact with are humble, down-to-earth, and kind individuals. There is plenty of freedom within your own department.

Cons

A general distrust of higher executives and HR admin. The Director of HR FAS for example might be a sociopath. According to testimony from colleagues and even faculty, she consistently demonstrates a callous, calculating, and inhumane behavior. She delights in her power plays and she chooses strict adherence to every regulation. More often, she will just ignore your requests for help. Her gross lack of empathy no doubt undermines much of NYU's effort to retain or reward loyal employees.

Pros

Good benefits, friendly office, easy work, good pay. Worked FT in the summer.

Cons

Grad Assistant / advisors were required to do drop-in advising hours. Which is fine except we didn't have access to a lot, so we couldn't help students half the time. Because of the union you could only work 20 hours / week. Which honestly sucked because the work was easy and I would've loved to pick up a few more hours.
