Pros

Breakfast and lunch program. Pretty ladies.

Cons

Too many to list but here it goes. 1. Company Culture - Could be a great company to work for, but most managers in place are only there because of knowing the right people or kissing the right butt. 2. Communication barriers with some high ranking managers sometimes makes your job that much harder. 3. Compensation below average (unless you are Korean or part of the family). Expect long hours with little regard to your personal life. No work/home balance. 4. Benefits okay, could be better for the amount of money the company makes. 5. Not a place for seasoned employees. 6. Turnover rate has to be over 50% (most people that leave quickly could have been great assets to the company but realize that things would never change). Its almost a slave like mentality, they don't care how you feel just get the work done. 7. Most employees are very unhappy (reason see note #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6). 8. HR - pretends to have your back, but doesn't. HR is supposed to be a neutral department, but I saw several employees get fired, just by taking the word of the manager when everyone knew that it was a bad firing. There should be too many lawsuits against this company, but most employees decide to just walk away. I started on a Monday, and by Thursday I knew this was not the company for me.
