Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits and pay are good, but heard it has changed.

Cons

They don't follow through with the concepts of the company. They say "create a better everyday life for the many", yet they prey on every mistake you make and fire you for not conforming to their way of thinking. They brain wash you and entice you with good pay and benefits and make you believe no one can match it.
