Business Outlook

Pros

Good 401k match hard to get fired. If you like to avoid work and let 50% of the staff do all the work then look no further you have found your home.

Cons

Low pay. Socialistic environment where everyone treated equal whether they perform well or not. Terrible office space. Like Japanese call center
