New York Public Library reviews

They are hiring managers that are very lazy. They take the job for the title. If you are new to the system and you did not start as a Page and work your way up, you are and never will be part of the clique. Too much favoritism. There are managers that have their best friends as their staff. It is a joke! If you are over 30 years of age you are treated very badly.

Had a verbally abusive supervisor who made my first job experience awful. I was called "green" when I actually was green (I began my job two weeks after graduating from undergraduate). My supervisor would constantly tell me that I was doing things wrong, but she would never tell me what she actually wanted. However, every other supervisor that I worked with also had issues communicating with her, empathized with me, and I was thrown a party when I left less than six months after beginning. I've since found out that she was fired and that she went though three subsequent associates. HR did not help me or place me in another position. Instead they contacted my supervisor when I notified them that I was being verbally abused on a daily basis (less than two months after beginning). Obviously, this made things awkward between my supervisor and I.
