Pros

Unfortunately nothing at all... toxic place to work... toxic atmosphere.

Cons

Avoid at all costs! Empire building, micromanaging managers. These managers have created a culture of bullying and intimidation pushing a lot of loyal staff to leave. After speaking to others about this company I know I'm not the first to say this.
