I'll will get to work at 10:00am or 11:00am depending on my schedule, I'll have to open up all the offices except for the Director and Assistant Director's office. I will check the messages that people left on the answering machine, depending on what it is I will respond to them via e-mail, or phone. If the message is for one of the directors I will inform the directors when they get to work and settled in, on what it is that the message said. Then I will have to check our Facebook page and respond to the many questions students had regarding events on campus and much more. After all that is done I will sit at the desk and help anyone who needed assistance, had questions or concerns.
While working here I learned how to properly answer phone calls, how to accurately write down messages, how to transfer calls, how to talk and handle people of all kinds of backgrounds. I've learned how to be more efficient with Microsoft Office as well as improve on my time management skills. I also learned how to handle many task at one time as well as be able to work at a fast pace when needed.
Management and I are now close friends. They are always pushing me to the best of my ability as well as motivating me and helping me out whenever I have questions. Management trust me and rely on me for many things, even though there were 8 student worker I was one of the 3 they could rely on to always get things done. Management put me in a authority position were I had to make sure students followed the rules and that they were conducting themselves in a proper manner. Management was working on moving me up to work with the campus Dean for the fall semester.
My co-workers were fun to be around we always got our work done and if we had nothing to do we will ask the Directors if anything else is needed to get done, when they responded no we took the time to get to know each other a little more and became great friends and still stay in contact today.
The hardest part about my job was not having enough things to or not coming up with enough things to do. I like to get things done and when that's over with I like to think of others thing to get done or start a project up. That's what I would do whenever there wasn't anything to do I'll start planning events to have on campus.
The mos enjoyable part of the job was being able to grow more as a person and learn more about a office setting, how to be more professional, and always having fun working with my co-workers. Its because of us that many students now want to have the job we have.

Hardest Part of the Job/ Management:
Chiefs out number the Indians!

Unbearably Micromanaged -down to the screen savers, fonts on your computer, when you are "allowed" to leave for lunch, the wording to greet students, what you are to prioritize, etc, EVERYTHING is controlled.

Unbearably Political-The Directors are all best friends and used to work at a bank together before scoring the positions at NYIT. They do not have advanced degrees and feel threatened by those that do.

The collections director comes in at 11:15 AM everyday and leaves at 4:30, but still making FT salary. She will leave in the middle of the day to "go get gas in her car" and come back----which the employees if your one minute late back from lunch, watch out!!~

If anyone speaks up about ANYTHING you are threatened to be written up or bullied that you are not doing your work and spending too much time addressing the issue at hand. Many people do not speak up due to the tuition remission that their children and themselves are taking advantage of which is why is it unfortunately so easy for them to get away with this type of dictatorship.

NO Advancement-I cannot speak for NYIT's other offices, but its almost impossible to get out of Bursar. The Director has very POOR ties with all other departments, even interconnected departments. Any advancement from within is political as well, as one of the Managers Daughters was hired in a management level position over others in the department with years of experience. This violates HR rules, but HR at NYIT as a whole is basically useless, literally, as both Mother & Daughter are still employed there years later after numerous complaints.

Best Parts of the Job:
Co-workers were great, but we were not able to collaborate for the better of the student body and made us feel more like robots!

Helping people understand and make more educated decisions regarding their finances, which shortly before I was faced with the same decisions and valued the help I did receive.

Fast Paced, Keeps you sharp, you develop many skills from writing detail emails to phone etiquette, math calculations, up to date on federal regulations

The responsibilities executed in this position were all in support of an optics and fluid mechanics experiment. The overall goal of the project was to take holographic images of the mid-air collision of two ink droplets after being fired from two inkjet print heads.

It is an ongoing project, the nature of which posed many interesting and challenging engineering problems during the period in which I was involved.  Due to the limited availability of information regarding the behavior of the ink droplets while taking trajectories they were not intended to take, great difficulties were encountered when attempting to determine their exact position at any given instant in time.  However, knowledge of their exact position as a function of time was critical in timing the optical apparatus used to take the holographic images.

This problem of figuring out how to pinpoint the ink droplets, and time the laser and shutter accordingly, led to the design of various optical positioners which could be fine tuned/adjusted. This was the part of the job which I enjoyed the most, as it required much problem-solving through assembly design, machining and 3-D printing.

The "dimension-sensitive" nature of the project also provided valuable insight into how a mechanical system (particularly one involving optics) can react drastically to the most minute dimensional changes.

I thought working for a higher education institution would be a great learning experience with room to grow and a legitimate place to work for. Unfortunately I was COMPLETELY wrong! Currently looking for a better job

-Management is very inexperienced
-No room to advance and climb up the "ladder of success"
-Keep you inside of a box and there is no room for improvement or growth
-Forward thinking is frowned upon
-Was told when I was trying to work on contingency plans that "we'll just deal with it when a problem comes" instead of trying to avoid any problems in the first place
-Management afraid to try new things
-Management constantly asks for new ideas/concepts and nothing changes
-Learned very quickly that there was no point in speaking up, anyone who speaks their mind gets shut down quickly and basically has an X on their back
-Fellow employees were written up for crazy things that made no sense and would never be on a "write up" anywhere else
-Employees have left for less money just to get away from this place

I was an Adjunct Assistant Professor of chemistry at NYIT / Old Westbury for twenty consecutive years until my retirement in June 2016. Too many in the NYIT community are mesmerized with hackneyed concepts such as "globalization", "diversity", and "Title IX compliance". Your potential issues as an employee? Suppose you are a Caucasian male, either Christian or Jewish, who believes in God and the free-market. Also, you are politically conservative, and are the descendant of a family that first arrived in the United States in the distant past. If the description above fits you and you are seriously considering accepting employment at NYIT, please do so with extreme circumspection. That's because if you do eventually work for NYIT and have this personal background, you may find that through no fault of your own, you have become "marginalized" and possibly even considered to be a "persona non grata".

I loved the kind of work we were doing. It was like acting, only no huge audience and you learn about the human body. I was very excited about it.
It became clear very quickly how mismanaged the place was though. There were 2 bosses and neither in coordination with the other. For every meeting or training session, there were 5 messages saying different times to be there. The management was very hard on the standardized patients, considering there was no training in acting. It was very stressful knowing with any slip up, you'd be scolded. Finally after a couple months of sporadic work, I had to take leave for a medical condition. When I wanted to return to work, was told that the semester was almost over and there wouldn't be work till the fall. Come fall, I get a group message about turning in time sheets. I messaged my boss to inquire on whether we would be working again. The only response I got was to be deleted from the group forum. Overall I would describe them as unprofessional.

I worked for NYIT about 2 years ago. I came in expecting to work in their catering area seeing as how I have a degree in culinary arts from CIA my first day they put me a cafeteria where I was frying french fries and chicken fingers I would have rather worked at McDonalds (probably would have had more of a chance to grow and better benefits). they later moved me to the SAC my immediate manager was nice but the three others who were higher up than her were asking of things that were way silly and ridiculous for this area there was barely ever any product to use and they would make us reserve food that had been sitting out and served in a different area of the school. It was pretty much my job to do magic tricks and bend over backwards to make old/bad food edible!! Any ideas i had just got completely shot down!! I WOULD NEVER WORK FOR THIS COMPANY EVER!!

As a standardized patient for over 11 years at NYITCOM, It was a rewarding and fulling job. Watching the medical students grow as they progressed along in the years. Now they just push them through. Management didn’t have medical school training, was once the receptionist. 
It is a very stressful environment and hostile to work at now. Yet it once was a enjoyable place to work. The revamped the whole ICC and now the standardized patients have tiny rooms, the students need to maneuver tables, SP’s just to do an exam. The Dean and associate Dean need to re-evaluate the people in charge.
Lots of favoritism in the ICC


I worked in the Budget Department for the Financial Affairs Division. It was a great place to work until the last 2 years when executive level management in that division went astray and began discrediting and disrespecting long time solid, productive and loyal employees and began showing an affection and loyalty to recently hired power hungry evil doers with obvious agendas. 
That said, working in higher education was a very rewarding and a wonderful experience.

A good working environment, with amicable staff and peers. Interacting with faculty, staff, supervisors, students, and outside agencies was interesting and, mostly pleasant. On a few occasions we had minor criminal offenses to deal with and some issues with some unruly students but, these were minimal. The compensation wasn't quite up to standards However, I did get adequate medical coverage which helped with the birth of my son. There was also Educational benefits that I didn't have the chance to take advantage of. I resigned to accept the offer of the job as a NYC Correction Officer, which paid more and offered better benefits.
