Pros

Honestly, nothing at all, seriously

Cons

The owner, Angela, is a VERY rude women. She hired me on the spot and then I quit a couple days later. I was never quick enough or good enough with her high standards. She wanted me to literally be a robot that could do anything in seconds that required time and concentration. I would be working and she would be yelling at me to go faster. If you want a mean and rude boss, then work here!!
