Pros

The experience was consistently disappointing and at times outright demoralizing. Nothing about the culture, leadership, or day-to-day work resembled a healthy or professionally managed environment. If there were any “pros,” I never saw them — the entire experience left me with a thoroughly unpleasant and frankly disgusting impression.

Cons

Too many cons to list — nearly every aspect of the experience was a letdown.
