Horrible company

Pros

Many different location options to work at

Cons

Management is horrible, they don't care about the staff and are very judgemental. They lie a lot saying they will promote from within to trick employees into doing more work and then outsource hiring new employees. They also have a huge turn over rate. Also, they completely disregard availabilities and threaten to fire people all the time if they get scheduled for days they are not available. There is a lot of drama, gossiping about each other and form cliques. Overall, not a good environment for growth and lack professionalism.
