Pros

Getting a paycheck, Health Benefits. While the pay is fair, it is NOT worth it. You're expected to work 80+ hours to get paid the "generous" pay, so it's not really all that generous.

Cons

- Management (None of them are helpful but there's plenty of micromanaging). - Dishonesty (Self explanatory). - Work-Life Balance (Be prepared to work weekends, evenings, early mornings). - Policies (Never followed, but nonsense ones come out whenever they feel). - Lack of Communication (You're expected to know things without anyone explaining). - Values/"Corner Stones" (Why have these in place but never follow them?) - Toxic Environment (People invade your privacy more often than not). Do yourself a favor and stay far far away from this company. It will cause you so much troubles in the long run.
