Pros

Potentially a fantastic company. Good business model and in a growth mode.

Cons

Horrible management structure. No training and no concern for employees at all. This is the worst company I have ever worked for in my life! Constant drama is an understatement. The senior management cares nothing about the employees and they know it. Probably the reason for all the back-stabbing and drama; at least you might get noticed! High salaries to management, who in turn, "lord it over" others to a fault!
