Business Outlook

Pros

None because the company doesn’t fulfill fringe benefit obligations when you sign up for them.

Cons

Poor leadership, promotions based on perceptions rather than merit (no one is actually checking to see whether new “projects” are doing more good than harm), discriminatory, and simply put - a cluster.
