Pros

Experience working in the CUNY system, nice campus, great students.

Cons

The most dishonest, unprofessional and unethical office and people I have ever worked for. Toxic work environment, with hostility and back stabbing. Rapid turnover, weeks to months due to new employees quickly learning what is happening. Closed doors, slammed doors, cliques and being talked about behind your back are all to be expected. Perhaps the worst part is the amount of dishonesty in communication with both employees and those they are brought on to serve. Political culture that favors family relations and people they can control. If you are a competent, thoughtful and professional person please try to look elsewhere. I have never written a review of an employer before. I hope this is the last time I feel compelled to do so for the above reasons. Avoid if you can.

Pros

My direct supervisors were dedicated, reasonable, and enjoyable to be around (though that was not the typical case on this campus). Mostly proactive in dealing with harassment issues. If given the right supervisor and depending on the office/time of semester, projects can be very rewarding

Cons

Exploitative management that expects full-time effort from part-timers Not a great work/life balance Permitted fabrication of time sheets, working through lunches and HR doesn't care Speaks rudely to the CA's and treats them like children who need their hands occupied Upper management does not respect CA's or their input. Also blames the campus funding issues on salary/wage increases rather than acknowledging the uni's poor management practices. If you call management out, they will become retaliatory and HR will defend them
