Pros

If you don't like loyalty, strong leadership or a positive vision for the future, this would be a good fit.

Cons

Lots of lay offs. Last round saw 40 people go, at least 11 of whom had worked there for 15 - 30 years each. Pay is not great and the current leadership does not value their employees and has no vision for growing the company.
