Supportive family atmosphere but rare raises

Data manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Open to remote work, family atmosphere, many employees for decades. Great 401k match. Providing important product.

Cons

Raises are rare and HR efforts are a mix of overly very formulaic and management's opposition to those structures in efforts to be a family business.

Toxicity Infects All

Pros

May be manageable if you are 100% remote.

Cons

If you have to be in the New Rochelle office, it is truly a strange place with bizarre, abusive management. The negative reviews are accurate. You will hear yelling, shouting, cursing, and insults thrown around casually. It’s usually directed at individuals. This comes from the very top CEO - the bad vibes trickle down through middle management and onto workers. Turnover is extremely high, lots of layoffs and outsourcing. Occasional free lunch doesn’t make up for the horrible culture. Systems are convoluted and there’s no real training process or HR, so a lot of times one hand doesn’t know what the other is doing.

Incredibly Toxic

Digital designer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

SOME Friendly coworkers, real conversations, nice colorful working environment

Cons

Gossip problems, racism and micro aggressions, toxic CEO who doesn’t know what they are doing, older directors that lack hygine (some smelled like tonsil stones and wett socks), passive-agressive behavior. Ceo mainly cursing at workers. Extreme lack of organization, and no HR involvement unless is to hire or fire people, but not to control this chaotic environment.
