Poor Employee Retention, Including Managers

Pros

The training is amazing and you can make a good living.

Cons

Very little work life balance. The company is overly concerned with completed jobs and doesn't have concern for individuals, customers or employees. This drives away good people that the company has spent thousands of dollars to train.
