      Horrible company, don’t work here

      Pros

      None, awful company with no particular positive insights

      Cons

      This company will suck the life out of you. They will take advantage of you and be forced to work insane hours and managing the workload of 3-4 people. They also coerced their employees into buying boost mobile and expect you to put in more work if you’re single and don’t have a family. They are doing sneaky lay offs of anyone who has boundaries and refuses to be taken advantage of.
