Pros

There is not anything to talk about in this section.

Cons

It is a very bad to place to work. The management team needs changed. They have no clue what is going on. Employees are not happy and no one cares. They are always hiring because so many people quit. The pay is very low. The hours are way too long. They do not let people work from home. They make you wear a uniform. They do not promote you unless you kiss up.
