Pros

The managers are useless and do not do their job properly. It is very cliquey. I was in a PA role and worked for 8 managers who did not treat you as a person but as a slave who could do 10 things at once! Did not have time for lunch and their attitude was very condescending.

Cons

Very underhand and devious manager who acted illegally.
