Adelphi Academy Reviews

It takes a village but sometimes it felt like only a few of the most dedicated staff members put in the work necessary to pull off successful events. Everyone needs to do their share to ensure success!

Long Working Hours: The expectation to work excessively long hours has become the norm. This often extends well beyond the standard 40-hour work week, with many employees, including myself, regularly putting in 50 to 70 hours per week. The work-life balance is severely impacted, leading to physical and mental exhaustion. No Overtime Compensation: Despite the long hours, there is no provision for overtime pay as they define your as an exempt employee. The additional hours are neither acknowledged nor compensated, which is demoralizing and unfair to employees who go above and beyond their regular duties. Constant Belittlement: The 'management' often engages in belittling behavior, making employees feel undervalued and disrespected. Constructive feedback is rare, and the focus tends to be on criticism rather than encouragement and support. Lack of Respect: There is a pervasive lack of respect for employees at all levels. This manifests in dismissive attitudes, disregard for employee opinions, and a general sense of apathy towards employee welfare. The absence of a dedicated Human Resources department exacerbates these issues. There is no formal channel for employees to voice their concerns or seek assistance with workplace problems. There is only the union that is the management and that is the beginning and end. This lack of support leaves employees feeling isolated and powerless to address the toxic work environment.
