      Pros

      No pros to speak of

      Cons

      - Everything is run by favoritism and petty politics - No one outside of upper management ever wants to be there - Management constantly taunts you with being fired or if your a temp of being hired just to make you work harder - Gossip, foul language, and petty squabbles run rampant - Toxic environment that promotes unhealthy competition - Only the top 2 or 3 processors have any opportunity and will not help you in fear of losing there positions and bonuses If your still reading this - do yourself a favor and work elsewhere
