Solid 20+ year retail IT shop (NJ corp, president Christopher Rush). Why skipped for THIS job: two structural mismatches — Dan's research notes describe a "2-person shop" but ZoomInfo / RocketReach claim 14 employees and $8M revenue, which is almost certainly database padding (red flag for inflated databases, not necessarily for the shop). Yelp signal is the lowest of the cohort (4.2★ / 18 reviews, mixed miscommunication notes). The combination puts it behind dtown + JWS for a multi-machine consolidation that needs confident throughput. Narrow hours (11-3 weekdays) make scheduling tricky.
