Pros

If you enjoy being "thrown under the bus"...this place is for you! Not only do you enjoy the 90 plus days to wait for your payment if you freelance or a supplier; you can also rely on the upper management completely withdrawing support for any issue while pretending to be "family-like"

Cons

i am only allowed so many words to describe the cons...do the math

Pros

There are no pros to working for this company.

Cons

There is no communication and no responsibility taken by upper management. They will treat you as disposable. I'm not sure if they are mentally incompetent or just horrible people as they have no problems lying to your face and throwing you under the bus to avoid taking responsibility for their own inaction. The CEO is a maniac and will fire you on a whim. He's out of touch and creating a toxic work environment and no one in management will stand up to him. I would not waste my time here. Chances are you deserve better than the way this company will treat you.
