Pros: great programming and visitors.great salaries.
Cons: health benefits to expensive.
NYBG has several areas that have highly educated and qualified V.P.,managers and directors. Individually some departments run very efficiently, collectively, not all areas work together. Depending on which dept you are in, you can learn a great deal and work with a great team. Unfortunately, I discovered that the latter. However, the institution is – more... a great place to be. – less

A disappointment
Operations (Current Employee), Bronx, NY – December 22, 2012
Decent pay and generous time off. Gorgeous garden backdrop out your window.

Health insurance is outrageously expensive for a family plan.

Culture here is not what you would imagine. Building codes and environmental regulations are ignored to save money.

Upper management is rife with corruption and promotional opportunities are almost non-existent. – more... Union has little sway in disciplinary proceedings. – less
