Business Outlook

Pros

At this point, there aren't any.

Cons

Tons of politics, mediocre benefits, non-competitive pay, and a work environment that doesn't focus on people. This company is about lining the millionaire CEO and board members' pockets with more cash. They do not care about their employees.
