Good companies on LI
I know once my DH and I want to start a family I will want to get a job on LI. So I was wondering if you could all share with me the good companies to work for on LI (pay, benefits, time off, maternity leave, etc.). I'm CPA, so I can work in almost any company.
Also, do any companies have day care?
Thanks!

Re: Good companies on LI
I believe Computer Associates is a biggie in LI, that also has daycare. I am pretty sure...b/c they were once looking for daycare workers so that is why I remember. But I dont personally know anyone who has worked for them.
I believe they have a website too.

They were bought out by Motorola, and have had lots of layoffs recently.

CA has a revolving door approach to its employees--I have never seen such turnover in my life!! (I used to work there).

When I used to deal with them 10 years ago, CMP Media had on site daycare. Not sure if they still do.
Hofstra has a daycare facility on campus, it's private but I think that HU employees are moved to the top of the wait list.

yeah, they restated their financials back many years- not the best company to work for if your in finance.

They no longer offer this and have recently restructured their LI location. Many jobs were moved to NYC.

I used to work at NBTY- I would not recommend them- they are doing a lot of structural changes right now.

Re: Good companies on LI
see, the schools idea sounds great but their accounting is very different from a public companies accounting, so i don't have much experience in that. i'm sure i could learn, but i have a ton of experience with public companies.
