The Durst Organization

A typical day at work involves conducting building inspections for structural damages and ensuring building protocols. Working at the world trade center has taught me about the importance of the chain of command, military style of management. The line of security deals with potentially high threat level circumstances and the particular style of management ensures accurate and efficient communication along with speedy responses to the problem. Management are ex cops and FBI agents who ensure the safety of their employees along with a stress free environment. They accommodate their employees in order to have a strong open relationship which in turns builds camaraderie and an efficient unit. All the employees at the world trade center are down to earth individuals who not only work in security but also attend school. The employees build connections with one another which helps the work day go by smoother, making the job pleasant despite its potentially high risk nature. The hardest part of the job would be the physical demands of standing for a few hours, although the managers accommodate their employees so that they can rest every so often. The most enjoyable part of the day would have to be receiving your assignment and being left to your own devices. The job does not involve heavy supervision, so once the employee has become acclimated with the site, and the rules, managers forego training and constant supervision.

Typically everyone gets their work done throughout the day. They are very helpful, want you to do better and TDO is a place that wants to see you grow and develop your skills. If you are ocmmitted to doing the work you will be recognized. In addition to that, co-workers have the mentality of no job is too small and are very helpful when and if someone is running behind on something. Management provides helpful tools in order for staff to learn and see what their primary interest is. If you are in one position and you find yourself leaning towards another, vocalizing it is just the first step because you will be heard and if suitable for position opens up, you are first to be considered. Hardest part of job -- can't think of one. 
Most enjoyable -- coming to work. 
Working at TDO doesn't make you dread your Monday.

The company is a great place to work. However due to the vast majority of Human Resources in Mid town and not at World Trade Center the management has a very secretive management style.  They want everything in house. The management has very limited knowledge of how to manage. Management is made up of old retired cops who try and manage as they are still cops.  Rules change daily depending on who did what.  All managers are retired cops from NYPD or NJ most have more managerial skills than the management.  Very cool job description but you will do none of it.  Stand the entire time and cameras used to intimidate you.  

Forced into a click or group like environment which almost gives of the feeling as if there’s some kind of cult ring.
People are always fighting each other which in turn makes supervisors look for intentional reasons to write you up or ways to fire you because of the pressure that management causes. So then to justify there role in leadership. I first had witness bully tactics in order to make people look like there are bad workers. In turn with the cult mentality this organization has a high turn over rate which isn’t mentioned.

I've worked here only one year and I love the chemistry each building offers. Very Diverse atmosphere. Steady work flow. Not a lot of movement with advancements. Come in motivated because looking around at the people who don't want to move up can hinder you greatly. Focus and stay resilient. Great place to start, even better to move up but nobody's going to hand it to you. Put in the WORK!
