Pros

None. There are no pros to working here.

Cons

-Interacting with upper management feels like dealing with girls who were high school bullies and never learned how to be nice as grown women. -The HR department is filled with toxic coworkers who will belittle you every chance they get, try to publicly humiliate you by sending mass emails to the department in order to blame you for things when you didn’t do anything wrong and they will call you when you are not at work to discuss work. -Training is poor and you will be forced to cover the receptionist’s breaks even though it is not in your job description. -They also won’t pay you well even if you have HR certifications or higher education. *And by the way, they seem to avoid scheduling interviews with applicants who do not speak fluent English.
