Pros

People are good but upper managers are not.

Cons

upper management and the "co-ceo"s are a joke and don't care about employees. The product is subpar and the superbowl ad won't change that. They Layoff People and two weeks later have a Superbowl Ad with Ozzy, Kiss, Benatar, and Idol-Slap in the face of good people.
