Business Outlook

Pros

Management has changed for the better over the last few years and is continuously seeking ways to improve. New leadership in IT has resulted in a more focused, productive environment. Benefits and salary are at or above industry standards. Office location is convenient with lots of shopping and businesses within walking distance. T bus station conveniently located at the intersection of Rte 3A and Wall Street.

Cons

There has been changes in the company over the past year and change is never easy. With this change came a few layoffs as the various business units fine tuned their needs and restructured their organizations. As with any restructuring, unhappy current and former employees choose to voice their opinion anonymously on line vs. addressing with the management directly to resolve.
