Raritan Valley YMCA
2024 Jun 24
PT.1) - I worked at the Raritan Valley YMCA for 3 years , wether it was preschool, after school, vacation camp and especially summer camp, i was always there for them whenever they needed it. I worked at the Y for two reasons , the connections i made with my co workers and the connections i made with the kids I looked out for. There was one problem I had with the Y and it was fairly simple, Management and Direction of this facility is absolutely horrendous and needs DIRE assistance. I voiced my opinion on this last summer for the first and last time, this was because the main Director of the building, Gina Stravic, had been allowing unknown, non-members with nothing but a state id to freely use the locker rooms, showers, and gym. This didn’t bother me at all until a pair of my shoes was missing out of my locker and so was one of my coworkers phones ! I, later on in the week, end up seeing someone walking into the locker room wearing my shoes. I had recommended to the Director of the building that we install a camera or two because at the end of the day we are a child care facility with 0 security, 0 security systems and let alone not a single camera. I work with technology hardware as well, so i even offered to buy and install a camera myself AND show the director how it works ! I was lashed out on in an extremely unprofessional and rude manner by the director in front of my co workers and in front of members of the YMCA who pay for their children to attend. The director saw no problem with this and neither did either of the other assistant directors. I found the way she handled that situation in front of our peers absolutely disgusting. For the rest of the summer she immaturely avoided me and when the next summer came around, she made the other 2 directors avoid my phone calls and text messages and eventually closer to the summer camp season, tell me i’m not allowed to come back because the the head director said so. I only voiced my opinion on that one topic to the director herself but there were countless flaws that i would have loved to voice to her, so i’ll just voice a few of them on a separate review.
