New York University On Campus

PAF RCW Lead

April 2022 - August 2023 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I liked having a job that allowed me to use my experience and skill to help train and support other employees.

What I wish was different

I wish NYU athletics hadn't completely gotten rid of the Lead position and demoted everyone in it back to a minimum wage position without any warning, discussion or notification. I wish we were properly compensated for all the emails we had to send begging management to do something about the safety issues they ignored for months.

Advice

I wouldn't work for a company that doesn't value their employees and chooses to demote employees in order to save paying them 50 cents over minimum wage for skilled labour.
