Pros

- Busy season is "only" 55 hours per week - Broad range of work which will allow you to build your skillset - Most coworkers were friendly

Cons

- Salary slightly less than market - NO bonus - Calling the benefits "terrible" makes them seem better than they are - Low number of PTO days and holidays compared to market - Everything is high priority - People are on edge and hound you for work they won't look at for days - You will hate every second you interact with one specific partner (everyone knows who I am referring to here and this partner is unavoidable) - Very adversarial to working from home - they grill you every time you ask to work from home - They are more focused on "winning" top NJ employer ratings than actually creating a good work environment - Open office environment

Pros

co-workers were friendly and helpful to work with.

Cons

I would strongly encourage anyone considering employment here to ask very detailed questions during the interview process. The work environment is extremely stressful and poorly managed. Leadership often appears misaligned, with managers and supervisors not on the same page, which creates confusion and unnecessary tension for staff. Expectations are frequently unrealistic — employees are assigned workloads that clearly require full-time hours but are scheduled as part-time to avoid providing benefits. The pressure to complete full-time responsibilities within limited hours leads to burnout very quickly. Accountability is also an issue. Supervisors sometimes shift blame or make excuses when tasks are overlooked, rather than taking responsibility. It can be frustrating to be held to high performance standards while leadership does not model the same level of professionalism. There have also been instances where supervisors appeared disengaged during work hours while staff were overwhelmed. Flexibility is advertised during the hiring process (including remote work options and schedule adjustments), but in practice these accommodations are difficult to access and often discouraged once you are employed. Additionally, the physical office environment is uncomfortable, with persistent odors and overall poor upkeep, which only adds to the stress of the day-to-day workload. Overall, the culture feels more focused on output at all costs rather than employee well-being. Unless significant changes are made to management structure, accountability, and workload expectations, this is not a sustainable or supportive place to work.
