Pros

Zero Pros. They blood-bathed the entire US desk for Mexico. And they learned the lesson: you reap what you sew

Cons

Duplicitous leadership well versed in lies. Love to hire their friends and family ---lots of family. Who said nepotism was dead? They favor the mediocre over spirited knowledgeable folks. Mediocrity is, after all, easier to manage and terrorize, is it not?
