As previous comment mentioned " it's all about the politics and social groups". Forget about your talent, devotion, hardwork or education.
If your not going to play the game. Point blank your not going to make it in this work place. As a union they are the worst from top to bottom. The entire place is curupt. There maybe a hand few that aren't but these employees are miserable and will not speak up out of fear for their livelihood. It's disgusting the money laundering, infidelity behavior that takes place in there. I got out before I got stuck between a rock and a hard place. They will suck you in and it's almost impossible to get out ... without being forced out or given a buy out. THE UFT IS A MODERN DAY GANG. <<< seriously reconsider this place.


The UFT as a whole is a political playground, so if you don't know how to play the game, just stay out.  Do not get trapped in the false sense of security that the call center management teams provides in the beginning, because after all is said and done, this will be your demise.  I understand that navigating through companies is a game of chess, but when it impedes on your personal life, and you go against the grain to fight for what is right in your own defense, the management team here will lose it.  Decision at times are fair unless the management team is mad, the determination process is not business, its not logical, its emotional.  The workplace environment is unpleasant.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
the benefits and paid holidays

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The office politics and the fact they don't use the most current or best practices

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very political . Either you're in or you're out or you don't count. Former teachers get priority for everything. There are no job descriptions so anyone can be selected to do your work

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The day starts at 10 ands at 6. In summer Fridays are often off

A typical day would start out working on cases where educators 
received U-Ratings in their performance as educators .  I learned that some educators had not performed to the highest standards that were expected however it was my responsibility to represent them fairly. Management and staff worked together for the good of the students. The most difficult part of the job was to inform staff that their performance was unsatisfactory but they would .get due process. The most enjoyable part was to see due process work and teachers and staff could say a job well done.

The hours were good and the employees were a pleasure to work with.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Scheduling potential retirees with their union reps for preparing for retirement.

I work at a school in Harlem as a community school director. I work with staff, parents, and outside vendors while executing my job. I manage the programs and services for the school. I love working to help the students improve their outcomes. The hardest part of my job is working with the different stakeholders and trying to satisfy everyone. Its also hard because the position of community school director is pretty new and often misunderstood. The most enjoyable part of the job is having successful programs and services where students and parents get the most out of it.

i learned how to handle calls, do light office work and take messages,call in for bike messengers to deliver packages . The hardest part of my day was dealing with rude visitors and callers to the office. No matter what we always had to remain professional. The easiest apart was sitting there at the desk waiting for the phones to ring and for someone to come ito the building.

I really enjoyed working with the UFT Because I myself was A-day care provider for many years and the information we provide it to New York City day care providers was exactly the information I needed to run my own business so helping the community of working women and men and the daycare business was a very lovable experience in my time with the UFT

Obviously any day is New York City can never be coined as a "typical day".
This job offers a lot of excitement due to the problem resolution skills necessary to support the union members (teachers).  It allows for much team work as well independent thinking.
This occupation is extremely busy from the moment you enter the building.
