Do not work for them

Pros

The only thing I liked about working here was my co workers who were on the same level as me, other than that it was a disaster

Cons

The upper management does not care about their employees at all. They put me in an extremely uncomfortable and unacceptable situation and then tried to blame it on me. They do not care about their employees and treat them like trash.
