Pros

The only advantage is the good salary, considering that each location is different. In places like Parsippany, managers try to make themselves look good for headquarters by eliminating bonuses and forcing employees to keep their positions.

Cons

Favoritism, promotion based on internal relationships rather than merit, and recently damaging employees' reputations to find ways to fire them with minimal severance.
