Pros

There are no pro’s, avoid at all costs

Cons

Horrible company to work with and work for. They push down their most talented employees and hire managers with no experience. They promote laziness and slowness and push down those that try to improve workflows. They are against anyone succeeding ever, everything is a secret need to know basis. Doomed company, soon to be bankrupt, avoid at all costs.
