Pros

Nice co-workers Workers give it their all even though they know it is not appreciated Knowledgeable employees

Cons

Management says they want feedback but never listen. It is their way or else. Employees are treated like slaves. There is no work life balance and management does not care. Complain and they will make you pay.
