Pros

None really. One of the most unprofessional companies I’ve worked for, especially given that the industry is so highly regulated

Cons

No interest in quality. The bottom line took priority. When quality issues were challenged, senior managers became very antagonistic and not interested in making changes. They made my job untenable
