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

If you're invested in education, it's a great program to work in whether an early or seasoned professional.

Cons

Each center is different and work culture largely depends on the Center Instructor. Although the goals across centers is the same, you won't have a great time if you don't "click" with the Instructor.
