Pros

Great energy-- people care about the employees

Cons

My interviews weren't very structured. They didn't ask specific enough questions about the things required to succeed at the role, and they didn't seem to have a clear picture on what success looked like.

Pros

The manager was rude and was just concerned with hiring a key holder. He never asked questions about experience.

Cons

The salary offered for a managerial position was laughable $55,000 compared to the job's demands and responsibilities.
