Pros

This is a family owned company that cares about the environment and they also make many donations towards different charities each year. They have a culture committee who create fun activities for the employees each holiday. You are able to dress casual professional. There is a slide from the 2nd to 1st floor, a small indoor soccer field, along with a gym and "quiet room" (which is a room with a bunch of bean bags and a hanging bed) to enjoy on your break. They also have a beer tap in the breakroom for some friday evenings. They are in the process of updating their systems.

Cons

There is a lot of turnover there, including management (the CEO/CFO/AP Supervisors changed 2/3 times during my employment for example ). They are short handed and give you a very manual workload that would normally be for 2 people. Management is poor in most Depts (some even get away with being rude). Hourly employees get paid half their pay for overtime, instead of time and a half.

We appreciate your review however some key comments you have made are false and misleading. Along with our employee gym, culture, outstanding health insurance, 401k, and other benefits, our hourly employees are always paid for overtime work at 1.5x, not ½ time, which is the correct rate according to the FLSA. We go above that requirement for some departments even offering overtime for weekend even not required to do so. All of our offer letters are clear as to salary or hourly wages and benefits and your comments are clearly not factual or were made to mislead others. Employees are required to review and accept the terms and compensation prior to starting. Our PTO program is one of the most flexible and robust in the industry along with an additional 10 paid holidays resulting in over 6 weeks paid time off annually in some cases and a program of Summer Hours whereby our team may leave at 3PM each Friday for the entire summer. Thank you for noting that we are fanatics about giving back to our local communities and allow our team to do so as well. We have a strong and bright team that works very hard to build a great place to work and I’m sorry if this was not the right environment for you. And, your comment about CEO turnover is also a misstatement - I have been CEO since 2011, along with my sister Diana Dobin. Prior to us, our father was CEO since 1977. mikey

Thank you for the nice review. We are certainly on a roll lately, and going live with the digital transformation in under 45 days now! We have a lot of great things ahead, and I believe the bottlenecks we felt for quite some time are going to be disappearing very quickly after system launch and 60 day "get used to the system" period. I cannot wait. Exciting times.
