Pros

Hybrid Schedules and Good Benefits

Cons

No room to grow, company hires external candidates over internal candidates, especially in management positions. Constant turn over, upper manager does not care about employees, so it trickles down to all staff and sets a bad culture. They do not value employees' company loyalty. No job security due to company poor management.
