Pros

None at all. Made some good friends through the bonds of suffering like prison.

Cons

None. Hands down the worst company I have ever worked for in my life. Management from CEO all the way down to sales managers are horrible. You will only do well if the management likes you and makes approvals on deals for you. It's ridiculous and a waste of life.

Pros

There are literally no pros.

Cons

This is complete joke of a company, any job, the CEO is even more of a joke. They do not care, they will hire anyone off the street. You can’t leave your desk, it is like you are a paid robot just sitting there it is horrific. There’s a reason why they can’t get the best and brightest because you have to be pretty dumb to even take this job.
