Pros

New offices, most people in most other departments are nice and want to help you. Leadership development, tuition remission, seems to care about students. Colleagues seem generally nice.

Cons

The accounts payable department is the worst. I should not have to continually explain to you why you are doing things wrong. The i-Buy system is rather abhorrent as well. Management doesn't always realize the demands that they place on their administrators. It's that attitude of "Oh, X, will take care of it" even though they ask the impossible quite frequently. Was informed that the role would be receiving help and I have not ever received qualified help. Furthermore, I am not able to disconnect from my position and must always be "on" and prepared to deal with issues. No matter how much I try to prepare for said issues, something ALWAYS happens that is out of my control. Then I get attitude for my perceived mistake when I have done everything in my power. Also, because I have no help, I have no back up and even on my sick days, I have to come in to do things before leaving because I have absolutely no backup. Trying to use PTO or sick leave is HIGHLY stressful. To be clear my rating is for the department I work for which I will not state. I pray that the rest of NYU is better as I am seeking other job opportunities within the organization.

Pros

HR will tell you that they cannot pay you more because your pay is capped by the union contract. This is a lie. The union contract regulates MINIMUM pay. NYU can pay you anything above the amounts set in the contract. Push for more and tell them the contract regulates minimum pay. You deserve it and they can pay it.

Cons

HR never approves raises. Never. So get the highest salary you can when you get hired because you will only get the union contract raises after that. The union is great and fights for you but NYU makes it impossible to get more. They don't value the lowest people. It's all about the faculty. So fight for yourself.

Pros

People, benefits, progressive ideas to advance higher ed, good vacation time, excellent location, mobility within university, laid back work environment if you are in the right department

Cons

Low vacancies make it hard to be promoted, a lot of red tape, too de-centralized - creating unfair policies between different schools; if one school has a work from home policy, another school won’t, etc. very unfair salaries between people at same levels in different schools.
