Pros

Being paid on time, but a very small paycheck.

Cons

You will never have a weekend off in this company unless you are in upper management. This company is the poster child for exploiting workers. The pay is horrible, the treatment by some supervisors is degrading, and the work environment is absolutely disgusting! STAY AWAY!
