Pros

Gallows humor among employees.

Cons

Working at HDS was the worst experience of my career. James "Ford" Huniford intimidates, bullies, and shames his employees. Additionally, he demands extended hours, unachievable goals, and unreasonable, untimely reimbursables. During my employment a number of coworkers quit on the spot given the abuses to which they were subjected: the environment he creates is unacceptable, and I am elated to have moved on as a professional.

Pros

There really aren't any pros.

Cons

Worst job I've ever had. Employees are at the mercy of the owner's unpredictable behavior and emotional outbursts. There are constant tantrums and screaming in the office. The owner treats everyone, regardless of job title, as his personal assistant. He oscillates between yelling and the silent treatment. It was similar to living "The Devil Wears Prada", but with a lot of yelling and no Prada. This was a very verbally abusive office. There are no systems of operation in place, which is wild for a business that has been open for almost two decades.
