Pros

Summer family party on Long Island near company headquarters.

Cons

The Rhode Island office is the forgotten step child of the company. Terrible vacation policy - What they call three weeks vacation is 10 days of vacation and 5 days of release/sick time. Any additional sick time is unpaid. Stingy benefits- Expensive health insurance with high out of pocket expenses. Discretionary fluctuating 401K match. Crazy Training Policy - They make employees sign a contract when they send them to training requiring them to pay back the training costs if they leave before a specified time period. Completely inflexible and old fashioned work policies - They never close the office for blizzards or even Super Storm Sandy and have an anti work at home policy. Still require most of their work force to wear suits and ties and on the rarely offered casual day, they make it a point of disallowing sneakers. Cheap - Insufficient investment in technology upgrades and software utilities.

Pros

I enjoy the client I have been placed with and feel this was a good step in my career. Being able to mentor a team of technicians is a plus. There is a number of industries that are serviced here which allows someone to gain experience with that environment.

Cons

Feel that technicians here do not have much room to grow and will only use this place to gain experience and move on. There are those that I have spoken to that are dissatisfied with their status within the company as a result.

Pros

The staff works hard to do the right thing and the company pays well. The company tries to offer good products and services to customers.

Cons

Often the wrong people are hired, the good people get frustrated and leave the company, and the overcharge customers for products and services with an air of entitlement.
