Pros

being employed yet underpaid is the only pro.

Cons

A deeply disappointing workplace experience. This company prioritizes acquiring contracts over supporting its employees or genuinely respecting its clients. Employee contributions, expertise, and dedication are largely overlooked. The focus is solely on client appeasement, often at the expense of staff well-being. It’s a high-stress environment where you're treated as just a number—expected to absorb pressure from all directions with little to no support. Unfortunately, this reflects not just the company, but issues within the industry as a whole. Proceed with caution if you're considering a role here.
