Pros

There are absolutely no pros to working here

Cons

The worst place I’ve ever worked. Management is completely disengaged and cares nothing about making the business run smooth, and sure not about employee satisfaction. The Director is the most condescending person I’ve ever met in my life, and casts a dark shadow over the entire department. Nothing is done about it. Job security? You won’t have that here. It’s like Survivor, every week someone else gets voted off. Avoid this place like the plague
