5 years and no pay

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I was able to gain a lot of experience with regards to cash management and research.

Cons

5 years no raise. Management used me to cover shortage in a department while doing analyst work and still no pay and respect.

Decent, but no training

Business Outlook

Pros

Good starting pay, long hours if you want OT, management was pleasant to work with

Cons

No training is offered. You'll likely start by driving big trucks before being an armed messenger, so you better be comfortable piloting tanks.. If you get in one wreck you'll be fired.

This company is horrible. Especially the Needham site.

Business Outlook

Pros

OK hours for some employees. Not all of awarded the flexibility

Cons

Location does not care about the safety of their employees. Favoritism is a problem. No cost of living raise. No work life balance many times workers had to come in sick. Unsafe working conditions many times in the winter you had to work in freezing temperatures inside the building. Will let you go at the drop of a dime to save the jobs of a few workers that don't do anything. If you're looking for steady employment this is not the place to be. Wrongdoing is covered up by higher-ups.
