Pros

Relaxed working atmosphere, pay was standard for similar office positions.

Cons

Co-workers who had been with the company for a lengthy time were a clique and were completely unprofessional. They berated new employees, and openly made biased and harassing comments about new and potential employees. While management was aware of the unprofessional attitudes, nothing was done to curb it. I quit after 3 months, and a new manager also quit after a few months. The employee turn ratio is ridiculous with the company is hiring 24/7/360.
