Pros

I honest to god can't think of any.

Cons

Obviously management is freaking out about the bad recent reviews starting in January and through May, so they asked employees to write great reviews about them which all magically appeared on and around June 26th. This is an example of a con- they are just con artists all around, with their sales tactics, recruiting tactics, and everything in between.
