Pros

Team members were the high point before they laid off 12% of workforce in April 2020.

Cons

Too many to relate here. Constant layoffs. Inept management decisions from the top down. Morale is horrible. They gave huge bonuses to employees in July after laying off hundreds of workers in April 2020 during a pandemic. Avoid this place at all costs.
