Pros

Better than being unemployed I guess

Cons

From the top down, leadership is inexperienced, disorganized, and out of touch. Bully leadership has encouraged an ineffective "Yes Man" culture. No apparent strategy for moving the company forward, and tensions between staff and management are at a breaking point.
