Pros

Nothing good about this place. Used to be a great place to work

Cons

They make medical decisions for you and you won't have any say in how to take care of yourself. They pretend to be inclusive and accepting but it's nonsense and just a political front. All leadership positions want to enter politics and treat employees as pawns. Dow Constantine does not care about you, he only cares about his hair
