Pros

There are none at the moment!

Cons

They lie to you when they interview you and say the job starts at a certain salary and then when you are hired it is much lower salary. They do not promote only friends or family get promoted first. They do not care about your ideas or future only about what you can do for the company itself. Not enough work then you go home early.

Company is restructuring and those who are not being laid off and are good at their job are being overworked. Everyone is burnt out and management is no longer transparent with employees

Pros

People you work with are great

Cons

Too many to name, from top to bottom this is a second rate company with second rate management. I have worked here for over 5 years and it has been described as a sweatshop and I agree. Massive turnover and management just does not care.
