Pros

The people on my team were phenomenal, hard working individuals that I was very lucky to be on a team with.

Cons

The pay wasn't great, I didn't get a true description of my job or expectations in the hiring process, the higher ups expect everyone to work a ridiculous amount of hours for no extra pay even though the reason there was so much extra work is because they fired people left and right. While letting a lot of the employees go, they also got rid of the 401k bonus as well as cutting down the amount of vacation days. I'm worried for the future of this historic company under the new ownership. They have let a lot of great people go who made this company great to work for.
