Business Outlook

Pros

The management looks and sounds really good on paper

Cons

Your daily life will be absolutely unbearable. Would you like to make less than a Subaru worker, but be responsible for 10 times more? Then this is the place for you! Buzzwords and perception matter WAY MORE to management than anything of substance like integrity or teamwork. If you aren’t sleazy enough to run a pyramid scheme or make a run for Congress, then don’t bother working here. You’ll just be wrung out like a dirty rag and thrown into a trash can.
