Benefits the only thing good

Cons

Management treats employees with disrespect and discrimination. Whoever says it's a great company to work for it's clearly lying , they work you like a dog and stressed you out ,that's why so many people that have worked at this company has had a stroke , a heart attack or passed away even young people at 28 years old had passed away due to the stressed and the ones that have lived to tell are handicapped paralyzed from one side of the body . I only tell the truth , so please do your research before .
