Pros

well-known company, fun company events , flexible work schedule

Cons

It feels very cliquish amongst tenured employee's last-minute changes with very little explanation. Zero training for new management difficult to voice a concern

Many upon many cons, To list a few: 1. Psychiatric abuse 2. Nano Management methods 3. Horrible teachers 4. Poor if not absent ethics and zero morals 5. Deficient leadership 6. Very poor educational backgrounds within property management 7. Failure to commit to honesty and any positive foundation of basic values. 8.

Dehumanization and methods of what is defined under the UDHR as mental or psychological torture. 11. Save the hurt and damage of working here, Its not worth anything they could offer.
