Pros – Absolutely nothing positive to say about this company

Cons – No longevity or career paths in place.
It's all about the money
They hire people who are unqualified
They have no concept of budget and waste tons of money
They bully there employees thinking it will produce work. Then they try to build them back up by saying nice things about the work that was produced.
They lack vision and focus.
Tons of unhappy and miserable people.
No interaction with Upper Mgmt. as it pertains to everyday employees
They use people to do their dirty work
Pay raises are based on what they want to pay with NO measuring tools in place, basically you get cost of living increases.
Never anything good to say from there employees.
People get hired or promoted based on who they know (with no experience) over other highly qualified people

Even admin pool have negative attitudes/do whatever they want.
