Pros

All positions within the company are generally underpaid. Management is loose at best and overall unqualified to lead. Really no Pros to speak of.

Cons

Lack of qualification within upper management. Rash decisions, direction changes each month. 'Make the month' mentality. Dishonestly within middle management is a regular.

Business Outlook

Pros

There is a lot of room for career growth if you are willing to relocate.

Cons

The work life balance is all work and very little life. The customer comes first, which puts money in your pocket; but at what cost to your family.
