They don't care about their employees, just their revenue

Pros

I honestly can't think of any. There is not 1 pro for this company that I speak to.

Cons

First of all, this place is quite literally a sweatshop. The amount of fake reviews here are actually laughable. Communication from upper management was inconsistent at best, often leaving us in the dark about important decisions affecting our work. The management is corrupt as well, decisions are made based on the bottom line, rather than what is right. I would caution anyone considering employment here to think twice and explore other options.
