Pros

Some of the people are okay

Cons

Don't work here. Don't do it. The culture is very 1950s... If that. Women are treated as less than, you will be expected to stay late even if there's nothing so you fit in. It doesn't matter what department your in, everything is a competition. Everyone is cut throat and they'll throw you under a bus in an instant. There is no heart to this company. They are exactly what you imagine when you think of overly corporate and nepotistic.

Good coworkers, will fire you for no reason and then try to keep the PTO you earned. Savage only cares about profits.
