Supposed to be "Christian"

Pros

Nothing at all. Absolutely nothing

Cons

This company touts that it's Christian. When I think Christian, I think kind, compassionate, etc. This place is none of that. This company offers no training and no direction from directors down. If they want you gone, they contrive a bad review and then fire you, making you sign a form that you don't sue them in order to get your last paycheck. Not very Christian at all!!
