Good place to work.
Case Manager & Property Manager (Current Employee) – New York, NY – November 18, 2018
Great place to lean and interact with people. A lot of training in property management, working with other City Agencies, Section-8, NYC health codes and NYC Housing Codes.
Team is great, management and work, not so much.
GIS Specialist (Current Employee) – New York, NY – January 29, 2019
The GIS team are great people. They help you with any issue you may have to help you get your job done. The problem is, there isn't much work there. You can go months without a project and even those projects are minimal. Not a great place at all to advance your skill set. Though you have a lot of time for your own side training.
Pros
Team, Compensation
Cons
Work just in not there.

Fast pace environment, pay is very low. There's no room for growth, there's no structure. The travel for me isn't convenience, I have to travel and pay a toll and gas, that really adds up.

No growth

Laid back and job security once permanent
Clerical Support (Current Employee) – Brooklyn, NY – April 13, 2018
Easiest job I've ever had because you stay with your work boundaries, you're dealing with the public which can be the only stressful part of the day. Sometimes co-workers can be very gossipy - but this part can be ignored. Most enjoyable is that you get your sick days and no one breathing down your neck.
Pros
Flex time
Cons
Nosey coworkers, not
City employment without true security
Community Associate/Liaison (Current Employee) – New York, NY – March 21, 2018
Highly intense with low pay grade salary for the amount of work that’s done. No unity or true work ethics and the room for advancement is skewed by favoritism and based upon how well you work.

Health benefits

Low pay scale
Productive and employee friendly work environment.
