Pros

Most of the clients, some of the co-workers, and some of management are the best reason to work here. They are good people!

Cons

The President is a greedy tyrant. She makes roughly 250, 000 a year when the rest of us made starvation wages! Then on top of it she ask for donations! She also fires people who earn too much. The worst of it is when she fired a disabled veteran and almost put him out on the street! She did this is because she didn't like him. So she accused him of things he didn't do. This company is supposed to be supportive of people with disabilities and she does that? SICK!
