Flexible Hours Great work enviornment

Avantages

Good location with a few attractive buildings, but too bad they spend more money on architecture and signage than they do supporting research.

Conseils à la direction

You're not the only university in the New York City nor the country. A majority of the full-time faculty in my department go on the job market every year and every year one or two people leave for better jobs elsewhere. Wake up. Any one with any business sense knows that low retention, low workplace engagement, and distrust are bad for an organization in the present and future.

TEDC is plugged into some of the leading causes and advances regarding environmental sustainability in the fields of waste, environmental justice, and city-level resiliency and adaptation policies.

Opportunities for growth

Avantages

The relationships you build with the people in Supervisor and Student worker Level.
The relationships you build with students and the programs they get to put on can be really fun and the opportunity to create a real impact in a students life is the most rewarding part of the department.
Recommend only because of the housing perk and residential impact.

Conduct exit Interviews to see legitimate feedback. RA's and other employees feel as though any little mishap or speaking up will get them fired which is not great for morale and this is also why there is a lack of feedback during the time of employment. When RA's voiced opinions about training there seemed to be a wall rather than an open table for discussion. Exit interviews and evaluations from the student staff would be great to see how they feel and how everyone can improve. Listening to decisions even about small things like organization of spaces would be nice as it gives some sense of being on a team rather than constantly being told what to do. To push this idea of being a family but then treating RA's like machines programmed to create community is very confusing. Take into consideration that they are not career RA's because once the RA/Student employment is over, the days they took off or the jobs they get fired from for RA training and arbitrary in-services will reflect in their careers after this and difficulty when pursuing career opportunities. They want to have fun doing the job but please consider how their lives will be after since there is no assistance finding housing or a job after they are done. All of this while they are also told to pack up and move out just after they were conducting programs or finished a duty shift.

Keep in mind that they still work hard for their positions and take on the emotional trauma that comes from that job. All of this, just to be told their feelings don't matter is very inappropriate and misleading during the on boarding process.
