Decent Place to Work With Many Caveats

Pros

-There is a good work/life balance. Virtually nobody works past 6pm. -You get a nice discount on products from the store. -You get a huge slew of days off for Jewish holidays (but if you are hourly you are not paid for them unless you use your PTO, which in my opinion is one of the worst policies at the company) -Many people that were there are very friendly.

Cons

-There are very unusual workplace rules that are frankly designed to accommodate Jewish employees to the detriment of others. -The PTO policy is incredibly convoluted and frustrating. -All employees must clock in and out every day, even if you are salaried. -They are currently working in office four days a week and the hours are 9-6. -The office computers are hampered by incredibly strict and prohibitive filtering software (i.e. you will not be able to check your personal email or virtually any non-work related websites) and there is no wifi for your to connect your phone to. -Most office facilities are pretty bland. There is no attempt to make them comfortable at all.

Pros

I loved my supervisors and most of the people in my department.

Cons

Beware of homophobia in the company. I was fired for being "overly friendly" aka homophobes misconstruing my actions as a generally friendly person. The workload is insane, did the work of 1.5 people with the compensation not even close to matching that. Constant turn over in the department and feeling the pressures of being short staffed and overworked led to constant opportunities to practice stress management. Can't believe I stayed at B&H for nearly 3 years dealing with their lunacy. Time to move on to bigger and better things.

Pros

Half day Fridays and fair vacation time

Cons

In many aspects, management operates on a 19th century mentality. Nepotism, misogyny and racism, although slightly improved over the years, is still quietly practiced throughout the culture. Be prepared to answer to juvenile adults with 5th grade educations, lacking any real world experiences in their current placement in the organization due to family or religious relationships. Hygiene was not encouraged pre-pandemic, leading to observations that their very successful and productive transition to remote work, will return staff to unchanged confining workspaces near individual's non-practicing sanitary traits, disregards the employees concern for health and sincere concern from management.
