Pros

Northwell is a great place to work if you are a workaholic. I assure you if you work in the Network Engineering department you will be working unlimited nights and occasional weekends.

Cons

The Network Engineering department is utilizing associates to cover 2 shifts. The expectation is to attended meetings, design and review from 9 to 5 and then do implementations from 6PM until completion. Repeat Monday through Friday. This is the expectation, do not plan to have any night time personal life between Monday and Thursday. Did I say design? After you complete and present your design to management they will make you implement it their way if you agree with their design or not. I do not recommend working for Northwell’s Network Engineering department. They will work every last fiber out of your body. (Seriously)

A JOKE

Pros

None. Not a pleasant place to work for so none.

Cons

A lot of favoritism, pettiness, unfairness going on in this company. You are nothing but a number here, the HR department and the managers are arrogant and your voice does not matter to them unless you have a higher position. If you work under FlexStaff, good luck getting a permanent position here, people wait for a year and nothing. Of course they will say it’s out of your performance, but it’s not, it just depends if they like you, which is so horrible because not most people have time to be a “management pet”. They fire employees easy as if the employees aren’t human beings who have families. The last thing they care about is employees, especially if you’re starting from below, you’re nothing to them and believe it or not, they’ll talk to you without respect especially if you made a mistake. Bunch of dictators and hypocrites.
