Pros

I do not see any pros for this company.

Cons

They have poor support. They will deduct an amount even if you were able to inform them several hours or even days that you will not be able to attend the class because of unforeseen circumstances. I was even able to send them a proof. And yet, they still deducted huge amount from my salary. They do not offer real-time support always. There were inquiries that weren't answered.
