Pros

Strong brands Half day Fridays Very good benefits

Extremely high stress level Spend 95% of time preparing/ perfecting power point presentations when they are usually quite good already. Don't empower their people. Great team structure, but dysfunctional in execution.

Good benefits if you get hired.

They mostly hire temp employees so they don’t have to pay benefits, but you aren’t temp. You are full time.
