Pros

Honestly, there aren't any. This place is awful...believe the reviews.

Cons

Long for micromanagement? Prefer a distinct lack of courtesy? Wish that your employer regarded you as nothing more that a name on a page? Enjoy being spoken to and treated like a child? Want to work during holidays? Dislike being provided with the proper equipment to do your job? Good news! You have found your new home.
