Cons
The website is Web 1.0(-), The CEO has no clothes and no one in the company will tell her. The company is determined to reinvent itself - yet again - into a service provider without the track record or infrastructure to be successful. We duped the Food Network, but I hope others don't follow us down the rabbit hole of unprofitability.
