Pros

recruiting, they'll offer you a nice salary.

Cons

One of the worst exp. When I left it wasn't until weeks later that I got a COBRA offer in the mail dated 40 days later, which my guess is they simply sent to comply with laws. For a company that brands on 'values,' it's been a huge contrast in personal experience. We suffered on multiple levels due to the way they conducted their bsness with us. Would highly not recommend.
