Pros

-Work schedule -Extremely relaxed atmosphere, but this also comes with the feeling that you are worth nothing.

Cons

- Racist Manager - Employees who lack motivation - Horrible pay - way below national average - Bad HR - Nothing ever takes off from the ground (eg. company wellness program) - No set procedures - everyone has a different idea of the way things are done, which makes things very complicated when upper management decides to get involved. - Very high turnover rate, especially among the younger, more educated employees. - No culture
