Business Outlook

Pros

Free Food. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner is covered. Good Benefits.

Cons

Work is repetitive. Data entry all day. No transferable skills. Flat Structure. No Room for growth. There are people there that have been in the same position for 20 years. Add that along with the sheer Nepotism that goes on in this place. it's a old boys club in the Skillman office. The dusty old men there will literately stop you in the hallway/bathroom/cafeteria just to make you suck up to them. It's worst than high school if you are not down with the clique. If you have any drive or self worth this not the place for you. The petty politics and repression will crush you if you allow it. You will be exploited until you get fed up and just quit. I honestly believe that is embedded into the culture in the Skillman office and Management wants it that way.

Pros

Great product in the core of the financial industry. Plenty of opportunities to expand your knowledge, although that comes at a cost since you're constantly overworked. Hours are fixed but you'll work every second you're in the building and will feel guilty when taking a short pause.

Cons

There is a culture of micromanagement. There's barely time to think or breathe for that matter. Department is seriously understaffed and that explains the high rotation.

Pros

the breakfast, really that's all

Cons

anything else, from micromanagement to aything else they decide to implement in this department which is just a joke. Very low career opportunities beside sales, which is just account management. Compensation is really discretionary and you can do everything perfectly but then one small msitake and that mistake will be shown in front of you for the enitre year and will be use as an excuse to not increase your pay in some way. "Mike" gloryfication. Long hours, sometime you are OBLIGED to work on weekends/public holidays (imagine Xmas in the office? here you are) and if you are expecting mobility such as working from another office or from home etc, forget about it. High turnover
