Pros

Pay and benefits can be competitive initially. Some hardworking, dedicated employees despite poor leadership.

Cons

The Whippany, NJ location has a toxic and intimidating work environment. Long-term employees with strong performance records are frequently terminated once they reach higher salary levels, regardless of their experience or value to the company. Performance reviews are often manipulated to justify these decisions. Management discourages employees from speaking up. Anyone who questions leadership decisions or attempts to escalate concerns risks retaliation, including termination. There is little accountability from leadership. Employees are frequently blamed or accused without evidence, and groups of managers coordinate narratives to justify terminations. In at least one recent case, a well-respected employee who became disabled was pushed out under false pretenses. Overall, this is not a supportive or ethical work environment. Prospective employees should proceed with caution. HR protect company not employees.
