Relatively poor choice for young professionals - Poughkeepsie
Pros
- The elder people you work with have a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience you can learn from - Work hours are flexible as long as you do what is expected of you
Cons
- Poughkeepsie, NY is one of the least attractive places to work. The town offers nothing for young people. The consensus among new hires is to work for 2-3 years and then go work somewhere else, away from Poughkeepsie. - Salary is sub-par, bonus' are poor, and raises are not definite. Sadly, there is no monetary incentive to stay; pay is much better elsewhere. - Working from home has been banned. You must come into the office now, or you'll get the boot. - Generally, cost-saving initiatives are at the expense of the employee reflected in their 401K's, benefits, compensation, and flexibility.
