Pros

401k is great, but not worth it to work here.

Cons

All the least productive and worst employees are recognized and promoted. The hard-working employees are undervalued. The turnover rate is HIGH and constant, systems are broken, and bonuses have been taken away. It's obvious the positive reviews are staged.
