Not for the long term. Family owned and ran like a dictatorship.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and met some good people.

Cons

Poor culture and inclusion. A lot of turnover for a reason. If you do not fit a certain mold you will be treated as an outcast. If anyone with the last name Savage does not like you, you will be shown the door.
