Poor on training at the branch level as there needs to be leadership not the good ole boy club.

Pros

Excellent pay and benefits for the employees.

Cons

Poor management and leadership skills are very distrubing for a Fortune 75 company. The customer's needs are not always in the best interest of the company. It's all about the margin dollar.

Pros

It is a paycheck if you can call it that. There are no other reasons I can think of. The benefits are no good and the pays sucks.

Cons

Upper Manager does not care about an employees work life balance. They expect their employees to be on call 24/7. The New Jersey Branch is poorly managed . The HR department always sides with managerment even when bulling and harassing is going on.
