Pros

Social commitment towards kids and benefits

Cons

The constant changes and reorganizations instituted by the new president and the EVP here in the Teaneck office are a morale downer. The senior management is dominated overwhelmingly by rootless Japanese expats who have not a clue about the people culture of companies here. The formula for survival is simple: Be servile if you can, or keep mum if you can't, because the Japanese can do no wrong. Information is not shared freely and everything seems to be a state secret. If you ask questions, you are black listed as "negative." There is overwhelming consensus that things are rotten at Teaneck.

Pros

Contributing to an educational environment, work didn't require any prior experience.

Cons

Management consistently took in more kids than the employees had capacity for, which lead to a lot of crunch for what should have been a straightforward task. The amount of work we were required to do did not scale with the $8 an hour I was receiving.
