Pros

Working with the clients and co-workers. Staff are bonded and support each other because management doesn't!

Cons

Management team is not qualified to lead people. They have no skills or talent other than being friends with each other. They are ridiculous. CEO walks around making comments that are rude and acts like we should be excited about making $10.50 an hour, get no raises, and pay through the nose for benefits. Like I said Run, you can do better than Helping Hand.
