ProsThey pay for the health insurance for singles completely which is a nice perk.

ConsThe management has no idea what they are doing. They live by do as I say not as I do code. If you like to have someone watching when you come in, go to the bathroom, take lunch, or leave, and tell you that you took 5 minutes to long, then they only work a 5 hour day because they come in late take a two hour lunch and then leave early this is your place! They do not encourage thinking outside the box or for yourself. They are looking for yes men or women who have no drive and have no ethics. Very shady company with no accountability for management.

Advice to Senior ManagementStop protecting people who are horrible managers and fire those who cant perform their job in the slightest bit.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Lakewood, NJ

Current Employee – been working at Gaming Laboratories International

ProsTo be completely honest, there is very few things to look forward to in terms of working here at GLI. I have only been here for a short while, the only things I see good with this company is that in my location (Lakewood, NJ), I have the ability to have flexible work hours, and the fact that one can make up time during the week so you can bank your time off for long vacations. The work is easy, also. A person from high school could complete this job, it's straightforward.

ConsI could go on forever regarding the cons about this place. There is no doubt in my mind that I should have never taken this job. If you don't mind looking forward to doing the same repetitive work every week, then be my guest. But in the Lakewood, NJ location, there really is no room for growth. From the get-go, everyone starts off at the same base salary (low 40000s) and every person that you come across in the hallway looks miserable to be at work. Coworkers are hardly helpful, they spit a lot of information at you all at once, and then later on expect you to remember everything that was taught to you in a span of two weeks. The upper management seems disorganized; any information that you try and locate on their network is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. The work is dry--regardless of what major you are, you will not be utilizing anything that you learn in school at this job. As what was said in previous reviews, cover your own ass. There is no variety in the type of work that is done here. If you don't have any passion to grow and succeed in your life, then by all means, take this job.

Advice to Senior ManagementLearn to be more attentive of your workers and be more organized. There needs to be more order among you guys.

Proslow responsibilities/workload (if thats a plus)

ConsThere is no engineering work here. best suited for ITT/Devry types. if you are underqualified and looking for somewhere to get over, this is it. If you're an engineer, keep walking.
