Pros

None ice cream gives you the runs,and no time for work life balance because the only thing they care about is Ice cream on the shelf not you or your family.

Cons

Upper management micro manages you to the TEE,but only if you are not one of their little flunkies.If you have a job keep it don't leave it for this it will be from bad to worse I PROMISE,one of if not the worse job I ever had. And turnover is very high 6 months max.
