Dead End Company with no future prospects

Associate officer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Cafeteria is decent considering the size of the company. Sushi counter is awesome.

Cons

Your hardwork will help your manager get awards and promotions. Manager competes with you if you are good at your job and make sure to give you bad reviews so that you are no threat to him/her. Rampant favouritism is the norm. You can only advance if your manager adopts you else its best you quit.
