Pros

Pay only good thing at this place

Cons

management is a joke, especially all the middle-managers! employees' suggestions to management are usually ignored, unless it is about saving cash. That is all this place is about. They are going to continue building this company up to make it worth more capital, then dump it on the next big buyer! Already happend twice in my 11years employed there. BEWARE!!
