Pros

The trauma bonds that this place forms will result in lifelong friendships, much like combat.

Cons

1. The CEO treats her employees like her personal pawns. It appear she has little to no regard for them as people but is only concerned with what they can do for her that day. Loyalty is non-existent. 2. The pay initially seems low but acceptable. However, you quickly realize that the pay is unacceptable when you realize how much extra work is required to do the most mundane tasks due to the company's refusal to depart from 1990's business practices. 3. The archaic business practices drain any initiative and/or innovation. Any attempt to update business practices will be immediately squashed by the CEO. Expect to spend hours every day serving the process instead of accomplishing the mission. 4. Terminations can and will come without cause or notice at the whim of a borderline personality.
