Pros

The company has good benefits and offer flexible work schedules. The compensation is reasonable with moderate opportunity for growth. Professional development is available, but not offered.

Cons

The environment is toxic and there are a lot of unhappy people and underhanded shady things going on. Top management is dysfunctional and there is an obvious power struggle. Management is not on the same page and appears to lack a strategy for growth or improving the work environment. I would steer clear of this company until the management issues are sorted out. The top manager is a dictator and bully and has a severe problem with vomiting every word that crosses his mind. He rules based on erratic emotions and arrogance and has a need to have people who are loyal and easily manipulated around him.
