You gotta run

Pros

None at all. Zero. These people do not care at all.

Cons

How much time do you have? It's laughable over here. There are no clear instructions, the care for customers doesn't exist. They only like you if you kiss butts. If you advocate for yourself or the customer you're the problem. Don't get garbage service here either, the bill won't be correct and you can't speak with a person to get it fixed. RUN
