Pros

Benefits and health insurance are on par with other companies.

Cons

Management is utterly insecure looking to be seen by the C suites. They will step on their subordinates for any attention. Good employees are quickly fired for ridiculous reasons, basically made their inept boss feel insecure. Kinda sociopath culture here. Been in the industry for nearly three decades and this is the most depraved work environment I've come across. If you have innovation, creativity, ambition, self-wroth, or talent then stay far away from this place. They promote and hire the most psychopathic desperate management. You are better than this company.
