Business Outlook

Pros

free product, direct team members, not much else

Cons

SBS management is terrible, no consistency on workflow, too many 'yes' men. Unrealistic expectations on people. There is no employee backing, people are simply a number and have no value here. Employees are treated like they are idiots and anyone can do their job.
