very toxic company culture

Pros

The only real pro was that they had a lot of good and kind people working for them. Those people made the day to day worth it.

Cons

Toxic culture. Very hard to get information or an answer for anything. Everyone is just given the run around. All of the internal processes are incredibly overcomplicated. People are given more work to do than they could possibly handle. Managers were expected to spend their own money on company expenses and it took months to be reimbursed. I am not talking $25-$100. I am talking sometimes up to $1k. Managers also never really get time off. You are expected to work around the clock with no work/life balance. Promises and agreements were made, then broken.
