Pros

Salary is great - I guess its a must to entice anyone to work there

Cons

I don't know where to start. I did look at Glassdoor for the reviews and unfortunately passed them off as "those people, being disgruntled employees". Yes the interview goes fantastic - loads of smiles, happiness, promises - job description thorough and giving you hopes and dreams of what you can possibly do at this glorious company. And then you are there for a short time and everything is ripped out from under you. But I stayed for months. Everyone warns you about the weird rules - when walking passed the Presidents door don't look in or you will get fired - you laugh at first but they swear its the truth. Don't email the President or you will get fired. Don't call the President or you will get fired, Don't forget to sign out for the bathroom, or the walk outside to get a breather, or the cafeteria if you want to get a snack - or you will get fired. President takes the time out of his day to check up on the logs and logs of sign-outs to see if anyone is lying. 2 people on average leave per week - either they get fired or the leave on their own. BUT WAIT! if you stick around you just may get rehired within those few minutes - ya just never know. He plays with your life because he feels he has the right. You are accused, berated, and forced to be scared out of your mind that your livelihood will be taken from you and you forced to go against anything you were taught to not do by your parents. Everything that is written here is the hard core truth. DONT DO IT - No matter how desperate I did and it was the biggest mistake of my life. Compensation and Benefits can be changed on a whim - what is promised is never true - "summer Fridays - were promised where we can leave at 3:30 - and well that never happened. 401K is no match from company - so you invest because you are put in automatically and the company doesn't even give you 1%.

Pros

Competitive salaries, Corporate HQ close to LIE.

Cons

Morton Bouchard the human being is a sadistic individual. The stories one reads and hears about Mr. Bouchard (And that's how employees must address him: "Mr. Bouchard") are true, no matter how often the company tries to refute these tales in their bogus posts on Glassdoor. I've worked for privately owned companies in the past and have found that their owners often have the mentality of feudal lords, but Morty-Boy takes this to the extreme. In my brief time with Bouchard I was privately warned to be very careful about what I wrote in emails because Morty sometimes reads them. I was told not to look into his office when walking by. (Of course: the peasants don't dare look the king in the eye.) And, naturally, there were numerous stories about people being fired without warning or just cause. (Nothing to be done about that as New York is an at-will state.) Several Long Island recruiters told me that they stopped working with Bouchard because Morty was just too difficult to deal with. One, however, did concede that Morty was often more amiable after lunch.
