Pros

Excellent coworkers with a good sense of camaraderie. Long breaks due to mandated Jewish holidays. Small benefits for discounted store purchases and occasional free lunches. Layoffs are virtually unheard of.

Cons

Abysmal flexibility and work/life balance. Unremarkable compensation. Utterly incompetent leadership from the very top to middle management. Convoluted and unclear team structure. No clear path to career growth. Religious and gender discrimination and nepotism. Suspicious and childlike treatment of all employees. Inadequate time off policies (no sick days or personal days, only 3 weeks of PTO a year). Absolute disdain for any remote work. Many Hasidic employees display poor interpersonal skills and struggle to communicate politely in English. Conflicting and nonsensical messaging from leadership. A tendency to punish every employee for the misdeeds of individuals, rather than allowing managers to manage.

Pros

Some nice co-workers across different departments They only hire because people keep leaving.. so if you need a job to fill a role they have, they will take you to fill a position.

Cons

-Extreme workload and high expectations for little pay. -PTO has to be used for a Jewish holiday if you want to get paid. They give you a mousepad showing if you will get paid on certain days. You work all year long and regular employees only get 1 day for Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years. -Micromanagement and consent surveillance. You are tracked on the computer and how long you stay in a program or if you are away from your desk for too long it will get flagged. -They hired a new company from the outside to monitor you as well to the point where you can't use your phone. They want to give you a flip phone. -Very toxic management and HR staff... very unfair and will give you zero give if you need to work from home.. they will tell you use your PTO. -Zero career growth whatsoever, everyone. -Favoritism gets you higher up in the company. -Very behind in tech & software on the corporate side but they want to have the latest for the vendors. -High revolving door, very churn & burn mentality. -End to WFH on Fridays... You will only be coming in for 4 hours... tough if you are traveling from far away... -Zero culture and no work-life balance
