I have seen them come and go here. I was management here and beside the hectic work environment the union has a strong hold over upper management. Some union employees have set camps loyal to one another and really can’t see the big picture in working with management so these camps will find ways to undermine the department with the support of union. The hardest part of the day was always thinking about which employee was going to run to the union for looking at them wrong. In addition,  top level management will not come down off their high tower to talk to you. This place is a career breaker for any new manager coming in stay away!

A typical day at work would begin by making sure the large table was cleaned then after that the equipment would be cleaned if it had not been the day before. Other duties would include cleaning the gallery and hall space. Additional duties also include preparing the area to be suitable for viewing. 
Talking with the event leaders is pretty important to have a good standing with them.
The most difficult part of the job would be mixing the right amount of glaze powder with the other ingredients, also lifting clay is pretty difficult.
An enjoyable part of the job would be helping people with their problems.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Everyone is a team.  Ready to help you to help Rio Hondo be the best it can be.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I believe it would need to be not having a team room by the field.  Not really stressful, but more annoying I guess.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very positive and supportive.  I don't think I could ask more of the administration.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Meet in the office and go over the plan for the day.  Set up the field and implement the points covered in our office meeting.

I worked in one of the auxiliary departments at Rio for a few years while I was doing undergrad. Faculty and staff at Rio are really sweet and prioritise students' quality of life and education, and I definitely had that experience while I was a student worker there. My facility's staff felt like one big family. Administrative decisions were sometimes questionable, but everyone in my immediate surroundings was very, very pleasant.

An enjoyable place to be where I can help those who are the same age as me in need of help. It takes some people a lot of effort to step out of their comfort zone to ask for help, and I am glad that I was able to help ease their experience by seeing and treating these students as friends rather than students coming in for help.

This position includes holding up a caliber for a school that wants progress and enlightening transformation to an educated individual. My job is to uplift those who are in doubt of what they set out to accomplish because of life's obstacles, I relate to these students because I have been there and still deal with the battles overcoming victories in the end. I am a living testimony to my peers that ageism is a myth to gain knowledge and get a degree in any field they wish. It

Tenure employees/ administrative assistants pretend to be nice but really hate everyone,  starting with themselves.  Often made complaints about these people to Rio Hondos HR Department and to no one's surprise they didn't do anything to discipline several employees who other previous registration clerks have made about these particular long time employees who in fact will be retiring soon. Your salary turns out to be an amount lower than the current minimum wage. Very unfortunate place to work.

I worked at Rio Hondo and worked my way up to higher and more demanding positions as the years went by.  This is a process that is available to employees to apply within and move up and onward.  Good friends were acquired there.  I do miss my last job as the Planning Program Assistant.  It was the best position I had at the college.  I am hoping to find another job I can find as good.

Typical day covered a list of tasks, correspondence by phone, letter and e-mail, to and from students and co-workers.  Weekly scheduling of inter-office workers and their time and effort reports which calculated their weekly payroll. 
The best part of any day was networking with other department in achieving a goal or task. The hardest part of the job was seeing tools that are available to make ones job easier squandered.

It was a amazing 

I helped mold the mind of others.
I learned patients 
Taught me how to work with difficult individuals
I became disciplined, organized, detail orientated. 

The hardest part of my job was getting the student to understand a foreign concept.

The best part of my job was knowing that I was changing a persons life for the better.
