Pros

People in the local office are nice. They offer a lot of webinar training. Benefits are excellent.

Cons

There is rampant nepotism happening that affect company wide decisions and morale/culture. Select few maintain job security despite toxicity to the company. Unnecessary protocols exist for the sake of keeping people employed. Who the hell needs a travel agent to book their own reservations? Why the hell are they shipping furniture from Jersey to offices thousands of miles away instead of purchasing locally? It’s because someone’s cousin owns a travel agency and someone’s brother in law owns a freight company. Most of the reviews that are positive are not from the satellite offices outside the northeast. People who have inappropriate intra office relationships are kept on board. Every single discipline is divided out into different profit centers so people are not incentivized to work together. People fight over public and private clients to see who gets credit for what for the sake of a bigger bonus. Efforts to build culture are a joke. Efforts only exist in NJ. Hop on LinkedIn and look for people outside of the northeast who have longevity…there are none. It’s a complete mess. Don’t let them lure you into the guise of being the one to start it all. Do not work here unless there is a secure backlog of work. If no backlog exists and you are set out to create it, you won’t be successful unless you already have the relationships—at which point you could work for yourself. If you are not billable within the month of hire, run. Don’t waste your time and decimate your resume. By the way, they currently have 5 recordables. Absurd.
