Pros

nothing. No job security. Hectic work culture. hire and fire.

Cons

"The work environment lacks stability and follows an erratic 'hire and fire' culture. A significant concern is the organization's policy regarding forced leaves; employees are directed to take leave, yet subsequently charged for those same days. Furthermore, the release of mandatory employment documents, such as experience and relieving letters, is inappropriately conditioned upon the payment of these disputed amounts."
