Pros

Thursdays free lunch, some people are nice.

Cons

1. The supervisors of this company and the HR guys are good at ignoring people; they just say I'm working on it and I'll get back to you, or just ignore all your messages and emails. 2. You have no drive or commitment in this company. The CEO and your supervisor put all the former employee's responsibility on your shoulders and expect more than you should. 3. Some people work so hard that they are exhausted, but some are just super lazy and hinder the efforts of others. Marketing people never do their job to get the customers. 4. people in this company are high-hat, how cooperative they are depends on your position and your popularity among managers.
