Pros

laid back office atmosphere.

Cons

There is no direction to this place- not somewhere you grow. Internal promotions are a one in a million chance. It's very easy to get taken advantage of in terms of the work you do, the title you have, and the amount of money you are compensated.

Game of Thrones

Pros

The base level employees are all trying their best.

Cons

Department heads are all set out to serve their own agendas. There is no sense of collaboration between departments to work together towards an overall company goal. There is complete disregard for procedures and policy.
