Pros

Healthcare and retirement. That’s it.

Cons

VP’s who love to bully people and personally attack individuals they don’t like. Pay at this company is absolutely laughable. You’re just a number here and management will treat you like so. They will make up lies about you when they finally push you over the edge and find a better opportunity. Full of politics and don’t expect to be successful unless you’re liked. If you’re not liked by your boss, expect to be silently pushed out, harassed, and bullied. Tons of favoritism.
