Business Outlook

Pros

The culture is generally positive and the people are generally nice. The products are enjoyable and fairly priced.

Cons

The dollar is the bottom line. They will cut people on immediate downward trends and rehire a few months later for the same positions. The products end up getting pushed with issues to save pennies. Products are also quickly discontinued and alt versions are rereleased with differing components years later meaning customers are often left hanging.
