      Pros

      Very few to mention not to trust what they say or do. Lead by example and you will fit in perfect.

      Cons

      Management only looks out for them self. Very political. Manager need to go though training. They had so many layoff including VP. They brought in friend from another company and it so obvious it's all political and not a good place to land.

      Pros

      It was a bad experience overall so I don't have many positive things to say, most people who are below upper management are nice to work with. Pay and benefits were average.

      Cons

      Senior leadership in HR is a disaster and I would not recommend working for them or their department. Poor management who will use anyone as a stepping stone to get ahead and they've done this to a good number of people. Avoid working in HR at HQ.

      Pros

      The pay rate. When you're working 50 hour weeks the OT is always nice once it hits the bank. If you're not exhausted you might even find time to spend some of that money.

      Cons

      Long hours, lots of stress, disorganized, chaotic, poor communication, young management, no training, little accountability, little support, no desire for diversity within the workplace, and obvious lack of appreciation for people willing to stick it out through the cons.
