Pros

-They have an annual company party in Chicago that's pretty fun

Cons

-insanely unfair pay -HR is not your friend -you'll get laid off for no reason (not even money), and replaced by a man -so much control across the board -they don't give the bonuses they promise in your contract -people who have management positions will hire their friends and it becomes a frat -sexism in RAMPANT -it's a popularity contest
