Pros

You get a paycheck...some of the people are great to work with and you can make life-long friends. If you like company logo merchandise, this is the place to work!

Cons

Real talent is not appreciated. The HR department is a joke. The entire company is corrupt and dishonest. Competent customer service is non-existant. Don't work here if you have a family as time off is not encouraged. Further educational advancement is encouraged, however, no assistance is provided. Health benefits are provided, however, time off to attend the appointments is discouraged. Interdepartmental drama is extreme and management is unwilling to be involved.
