Pros

They operate on a sub-par level.

Cons

Sure, you'll see Asian and South Asian workers because they are most likely paid a lot less than white counterparts, but outside of custodial staff, you will find very, very few African-American employees . I have seen "Irish Power" written on white boards, and witnessed a manager tell a subordinate that she should use simple words with South Asians so they can understand her. The place is a throwback to 1952. Do better.
