      Pros

      horrible leadership, no training, no advancement unless you are personally liked by leadership, hard work is not appreciated, org wastes money, no training, quick to fire employees, management are in roles that they should not be in. Diversity and inclusion are smoke and mirrors.

      Pros

      Reliable co-workers that are friendly and willing to help, and give insight.

      Cons

      Poor management, lots of micromanaging, and overwhelming workloads. Advancement at this company is a joke. Do not expect to climb the ranks in this company.
