Pros
I had no problems with the actual work. The people that I worked with were awesome and it made me want to do good work.
Cons
The problem was with the environment within the buildings and outside. Outside, the buildings in the area were under constant repair which meant that there were fumes and other issues that are common to Manhattan. There were also harmful fumes inside the buildings, during COVID-19 and I'm not talking about the cleaning products that were used. There was something wrong with the air vents at the Buildings, maybe due to possible financial issues that Berkeley College was facing at the time. I'd say pass on this and look elsewhere for your own safety.

Needing to know course schedules a week or two earlier would help.

Pros
There are no pros unfortunately
Cons
Supervisors micromanage and disrespect/belittling employees in front of others. Autonomy isn’t respected. On-demand communication is expected via texting on personal phone. Human decency is absent in regard to personal treatment. I worked during the pandemic and no consideration was given for the challenges that presented for the job. I was made to Dee distrustful of others and therefore did not benefit from collegial support. I was not able to participate in human resource development programs.
- 1.0Aug 27, 2023Campus Visit CoordinatorFormer Employee, less than 1 yearBridgeton, NJ
Pros
You got to work from home
Cons
They micromanage everyone. If you need to get up to use the bathroom you have to say something in Microsoft teams and they will be counting the minutes. They also had a few nasty individuals that listen in on calls and constantly complain about things you did. Funny enough, the same supervisors hadn't actually been on the phone in quite a long time and I'm pretty sure that they in no way use the advice that they gave their employees.

- 1.0Apr 28, 2023Student WorkerFormer Employee, more than 1 yearPaterson, NJ
Pros
Majority of co-workers were friendly.
Cons
Spent the majority of my student work experience updating spreadsheets, running errands, calling and emailing students. Witnessed work place harassment by an individual in a high ranking position. Very unprofessional. Expensive education with mediocre work experience program. The future success of students seems to come second to school profits. A school advisor and co-worker through the student work program suggested that I use a credit card to pay for the remainder of my education when my Financial Aid had maxed out.
