Pros
* There are some really great people there. * Competitive salaries * Semi-modern facilities
Cons
* Management: clueless; heavy-titled with low work product (in meetings about nothing all day); disrespectful; big on promises/small on delivery * Rampant favoritism * Not respective to new ideas; clings to past practices * Almost no training * No regard for work to life balance: Standard hours are 8:30 - 5:00. Even with the built in robbery of 30 minutes per day, leaving at 5pm is aggressively frowned upon. Senior management (VP level) can be found hanging out with each other after 5pm just for the sake of being there. Receiving "emergency" requests from management at minutes to 5pm is a very common practice. EVERYTHING is an emergency and priority. * Inconsistent: Telecommuting, for example, is not endorsed. Yet, there are departments (particularly in Rochester and Buffalo) where regular telecommuting is standard practice. * Shuns new technology: The Finance department has no electronic accounting software package. Instead, the receivable is cowboy managed via Excel. To support this madness, staff is expected to donate their personal time by consistently working past 5pm.
