Pros

Free food... Sad that that's the only pro that i can think of.

Cons

Executive team will look you straight in the eye and tell you one thing, but then they're turn around and do something else. If you want to succeed, then support the people that work for you. Don't stab them in the back. I see other reviews that call the company and exec team corrupt and I believe it. They've had a revolving door of personnel in certain positions for as many years as I can remember. Hmm.. I used to think that maybe they hired the wrong people, but now I realize it's that they conspire against new people even if they do it unknowingly. It's a shame. They expect to take the company public, but I can't imagine how they'll do that since they're building a reputation that is one of distrust... I look forward to their IPO so that i'll be able to short their stock shortly thereafter.

Pros

The people outside of the family and senior management were nice

Cons

The CEO and COO ? (kate) are completely incompetent and unethical although the acted like they were superior to others and both ethics and competency. The CEO hired his son and son-in-law‘s because men are supposed to take care of their wives… That’s from an interview from the CEO. It would be one thing if they knew what they were doing, but these relatives and in-laws were just as incompetent.
