Pros

There are no pros within this organization

Cons

This company is on a major decline. Out souring to Costa Rica and trying to restructuring a department due to over hiring is a mistake the executive team has made, that will make this company worse in the future. Used to be a decent place to work but that has now changed within 5 years. Sean Dobson and executive team are clueless and don't care. thy have lost all control and need to revisit all business core objectives.

Pros

PTO (if they let you take it)

This company will literally make you need therapy. Horrible culture, work/life balance, and no potential to move up.
