Don't, just don't work here

Pros

These people don't care a bit about their employees, it's all about the bottom line, and because of this they don't really care about their customers either.

Cons

They flat out lie to their employees. They make promises and don't follow through. They don't respect a work/family balance. They double your workload without offering any over time and then lay you off when you can't hit the unrealistic numbers.
