Pros

Lots of opportunity for promotion if you can achieve aggressive targets/expectations. They offer training programs for certain roles.

Cons

The company believes in micromanagement, but calls it supportive leadership. Very high expectations, especially with support roles being eliminated over time. Work,life balance is very challenging, especially in leadership roles. Bonus structure complicated and hard to predict.
