Pros

Their are no best reasons unless you are starving. if you want some postive feed back The only thing I can say is the pay check did arrive on time. Trouble is everyone is a cost reduction object when management screws up.

Cons

Managment was the most incompetent bunch of selfserving fools that I ever encountered.their motto try blaming everything on some scapegoat to save their butts.
