Worst company to work

Pros

There is no PROS really. Pay maybe but overall a horrible company to work at. Horrible work life balance. Always living in the stress of when and what is going on with the management when it comes to kicking out people. I worked with some really good teammates as well as some cocky idiots.

Cons

Cons are plenty, not sure where to start
