Pros

The idea of it is all right. Fresh/real ingredients, I think?

Cons

Evil under the core manipulators who are fake and try to use you for whatever plans they may have in store for the employee. Not enough money because they work on a point system which I think is a scam. Unfortunately, I'm all Italian out.

Fraudulent and Predatory Hiring Practice

Pros

Great people looking to learn and grow in the industry

Cons

During the interview senior management explains that the pay is low initially offering recent graduates of places like CIA or Johnson and Whales and opportunity. However, they also explain at the six month mark you will get a nice raise and make better money. Problem is after people literally give up their life for six months and pledge complete loyalty to the company ~80% of the new hires are fired at the six month mark without good reason. Then immediately you will find the HR and recruiting team posting on the job boards at CIA and Johnson and Whales looking to prey on the next batch of hopeful graduates. This is despicable preying on young people like that and after doing research this seems to be well known in the industry. Somebody needs to look into the ethics of this company.
