Pros

On the surface, everything appears to be fantastic, with substantial benefits and promises.

Cons

The staff is not open to new ideas, and they don't have a product to sell; instead, they have an army of underwriters manually approving loans for small businesses. Despite the promises, it is not mission-driven. They haven't been able to come up with any examples of small enterprises that have used the loans to expand and grow over time.
