Pros

Great place execpt: Lets see????? someone got a raise $25 hr. When tons of people were gotting laid off, not able to retire after being there for decades!!!

Cons

I heard of someone getting a VERY LARGE BONUS, when people were loosing their jobs, some that had worked there for many many years. Why would you give someone a bonus that was brand new with the company? Espeically giving a bounus equalling $25 and hour!!! When tons of people were getting laid off.
