Pros

The people I worked with are great.

Cons

This company cannot pay its suppliers or bills on time. The upper management is out of touch and clueless. Massive layoffs out of the blue. Cutting veteran employees of 12+ years to save their bottom line due to poor financial performance and terrible "outsourcing" decisions.
