Pros

Hard-pressed to come up with positives.....

Cons

Negative attitudes permeate the company - mid-level management is totally inept. I was terminated after several years with the company. When I asked for a reason I was told - and I quote - "I'm not at liberty to say". Try putting that on a resume as a reason for leaving a job..... My stint at being unemployed was short-lived. Have gone to work at an agency that is not only better paying, but is considerate and open to ideas. Best thing that ever happened to me!!
