Business Outlook

Pros

The people I worked with are great.

Cons

This company cannot pay its suppliers or bills on time. The upper management is out of touch and clueless. Massive layoffs out of the blue. Cutting veteran employees of 12+ years to save their bottom line due to poor financial performance and terrible "outsourcing" decisions.

Pros

A few good people you’ll meet in Frisco location.

Cons

Management are racists and do not support the truth when it comes to lying employees harassing other passionate employees that are loyal to the company and the very best at what they do. They allow thieves who steal company credit cards, steal neighbor company products and people who don’t follow policies at all to remain there!
