                        Pros

                        A job that could have a presented positive outcome for the right person willing to never question authority or use ones own mind.

                        Cons

                        This is not a place for someone who does not play office politics. If someone is different from the "team" and wishes to keep their own identity it is not the opportunity to survive.
