Pros

- The workers on the floor were amazing, they were always encouraging and supportive amongst each other. It truly felt like a family when we were actually allowed to speak to one another while at work. A handful that have been in the business 30+ years and would always advise me to "get out while I still could". I did, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. - The images that we were working on were fun and challenging, I enjoyed the creative aspect.

Cons

- No work/life balance (12-14 hour shifts / 7 days a week are what should be expected with a normal 8 hour / 5 day week thrown in every 4 months.) - Rude management, often will speak poorly and reveal personal information about staff members (gossip is very common among the female management) - Run like a factory, often you are taken off your break or lunch to get back to work. Any chatter amongst the workers is shushed by management on the floor. - Do not appreciate loyal hard workers, they take advantage of their willingness to get the job done by making them work longer hours.

Pros

Decent pay (though they constantly add more and more responsibilities without pay increases), health insurance is good

Cons

Related is the worst company I have ever worked for and Hudson Yards is the epitome of Instagram culture— totally fake. The center is an absolute joke. They don’t care about anything on the inside, just what the outside looks like. Things are constantly broken (windows, accessible doors, escalators, elevators, bathrooms). Their response to Covid for hourly employees was so bad more than 20 people tested positive within one week. The corporate employees do not care about the customer service part of the company— they will see you every single day and not even say hello. The corporate side has incredible facilities and employee rest areas; the hourly employees break room doesn’t even have air conditioning (as far as we could tell the only thing it did have was Covid floating all over). Whether you are full time or part time you have to have open availability and they will not work with you to create a “set schedule” so your days off change every week/month. Some departments only schedule their full time employees 30 hours a week. There is absolutely no respect from upper management, who have been known to take pictures of employees they do not think are working hard enough. Working for Related will bring out your worst qualities and there is absolutely no motivation to do better. 3 people committed suicide in the past year on the property and they act like there was no way to stop it saying things like “these things happen.”
