Pros

Money Autonomy Challenge The People

Cons

Management is generally terrible and the majority of their decisions are made by short-term gain. They are willing to sacrifice their workforce if it means it will make the stock price go up short-term, and they seem to very blatantly take advantage of the fact they can easily replace workers, even if it's objectively the wrong move.
