Pros

The people are great to work with and the benefits are seemingly competitive. The snack room is a nice perk as well.

Cons

There is a complete disconnect between management and everyone else. It is almost as if they operate in their own bubble completely separated from the real world and real needs of their revenue-producing teams. Salaries are below average and there is no room for career advancement at all. Additionally the OTE (on target earnings) for the sales team are not accurate. The commissions and compensations for the sales department lag the competition in a major way and changes are talked about for months and months but never truly happen. In that sense management is very political: they speak of change but the words carry no weight without action. If you need a job, you should apply as they seem to now hire anyone and everyone with a resume and a heartbeat. If you are looking for career advancement this is absolutely not the place for you.

Pros

This review is from 2011. Opportunity cost, you work in New York. Anything can happen there at any time. Well stocked and good variety of snacks. Oatmeal provided for breakfast. The company gave things sometimes like blankets and T-shirts.

Cons

Company culture is unconventional. The end of the workweek is Thursday, because the jobs posted that day go live Friday. So everyone celebrates the end of the week on Thursday instead. If you have a long commute you will be forced to make a choice between sleep and connecting with coworkers and colleagues after the day. Permatemps are also treated as second-class citizens, due to a Supreme Court decision. They don't get to participate in company morale events, such as barbecues, picnics,. One time the company hired masseuses to give employees massages. Permatemps did not get to receive a massage. Management will take credit for your work, so document every exchange. Management would rather terminate employees in the case of an HR incident rather than address the problem.
