Pros

Zero Pros. They blood-bathed the entire US desk for Mexico. And they learned the lesson: you reap what you sew

Cons

Duplicitous leadership well versed in lies. Love to hire their friends and family ---lots of family. Who said nepotism was dead? They favor the mediocre over spirited knowledgeable folks. Mediocrity is, after all, easier to manage and terrorize, is it not?

Pros

I don't see anything positive with this organization

Cons

Its more of a political party than an organization, Un-ethical practices like they encourage conflict of interest. Business team uses bad words during meetings. Frequent force resignations ( 120 years they never fired any employee) . They illtreat you and torcher you for resigning. They treat you like animals.
