Pros

It's a job. The company has the infrastructure and employees in place to be great again with the right leadership.

Cons

An arrogant and condescending management team that favors absolute control and intimidation over a healthy, productive work environment. Everything is about establishing and maintaining leverage over the employees. Do not come here for fulfillment.
