Pros

Easy job although they no longer higher remote, forced an RTO for no apparent reason on inconsiderate, confusing terms.

Cons

No organizational structure, focused more on the money they make than the people they “serve”. Signs terrible contracts that are supposed to bring in income but don’t, and their employees suffer more as their customers pay the costs - customers they’ve spent years building relationships with. No accountability for under-performers, but they somehow let go of their best staff on a regular basis.
