Pros

Clean and air conditioned environment

Cons

Nepotism! This company constantly says they’re all about continuous improvement, but never makes any changes despite employee feedback and several reviews here on Glassdoor. The pay is mediocre at best, health insurance is terrible, and there are few opportunities for advancement, especially if you’re a minority.
