Relaxed, productive, and work oriented office.
Graduate Assistant (Current Employee), Madison, NJ – April 24, 2013
Pros: great way to earn your masters.
Cons: does not always use the most efficient processes.

Ensuring the saftey of Staff, Faculty, Students and Visitors
Public Safety Officer (Current Employee), Teaneck, NJ – January 2, 2013
Pros: great people to work with, overtime available, work with the local police departments
Cons: we do not have the authority to enforce the law which could help protect people on the campus.
Being a Public Safety Officer at Fairleigh Dickinson University is a great place to work. Officers are responsible for the safety of everyone on campus at all times. While working on the campus, officers learn how to communicate with people on a professional level and assist people when they are in need. Working with local Police Departments has been – more... a great experience and helps the officers get ready for the next step in law enforcement. The job as a public safety officer is a great stepping stone for those interested in pursuing a job in the field of criminal justice. – less

Opportunities are nonexistent
Director of Financial Aid (Former Employee), Teaneck, NJ – December 29, 2012
Institution caters to quantity over quality. Focuses on appeasing those who deliver many years of less than satisfactory service to its students. Those who bring innovative change are not accepted and eventually dismissed.

Whyy – October 22, 2012

This is ALSO the case the Kron building on the Teaneck campus. Nothing but bulllying by the management. Hiring friends. Late hours no compensation, not even a thanks. Rulles changing everyday. Management having no clue how to do basic 101 job duties. HR unprofessionalism. The list goes on and on and on. It's a job yes, but it's mental and emotional abuse that I refuse to deal with anymore.

The facilities manager was a ridiculous tyrant. Abusive to most eployees, and discriminatory favoritism to a few. A terrible place to work. I couldn`t get away from there fast enough.

Good Learning Experience
Resident Director (Former Employee), Madison, NJ – February 21, 2012
Pros: room was part of compensation
Cons: there was no clear line between clocking in or out
My particular area, Residence Life, was very fast paced sometimes and slow others. But it took a lot of organization to get a grasp on the work. My favorite people to work with were those who worked directly with me, whether I was managing them or they managed me.
