Pros

Kind owners and co-workers who helped in a time of family crisis.

Cons

The pay wasn't very good and another co-worker said the last person had an issue with that as well. Equally or even more troubling there was a huge bad apple who cursed at me and took a stack of papers off my desk and threw them to the floor because he could not keep it straight in his mind that he asked someone else to do something and not me. When I made it clear that I had no idea of what he was talking about he went absolutely nuts in front of another coworker and a vendor who was there to work on our internet service. If I had another source of income, I would have cursed back at him and possibly even attacked that man even though I am a much smaller woman! This man was very angry and stressed out, but was allowed to treat others horribly for years from everything I gathered during my time there.
