Pros

nothing absolutely nothing, do not work here.

Cons

I'd give this place zero stars if I could. Shady business practices, no real understanding of how to run a company or manage employees, they micromanage people, the number of vacation days provided is a joke, lots of turnover at the senior management level which should tell you something, no business strategy, I could go on and on.
