Pros

Training department expanded 10-fold and relocated to Morristown. The new facility for the training has top of the furnishings such as multiple media rooms, granite counter tops and catering of meals and breaks. Layers of mgmt. were formed to handle booking of outside trainers and the travel arrangement of so fortunate few that are able to use the facility.

Cons

No real career growth unless part of young MBA's. Company brings people from the outside in to fill most vacancies. Company vision, if you call it that, is short term in order that the numbers are made for last month, quarter, year to both impress upper mgmt. and that both the upper mgmt here and abroad get their bonuses. It is interesting to note that many of the good reviews are made by interns or short tenured employees on this site.

Pros

Solid commitment by top levels of management to run a professional, ethical, and profitable business. Above average compensation package for the industry.

Cons

None of that commitment from top management translates to the local level. Nobody is having fun, and everything is set up to fail. Local management is pressured into portfolio growth which often means aggressive bidding instead of value selling. Layoffs lead to excessive workloads, and the result has been that top talent leaves.
