Mixed bag - Photo Retoucher Hudson Yards Employee Review

Good pay over all there

Gets cold during winter season

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

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.”
