Pros

Ain't none I am afraid

Cons

"I had an absolutely shocking experience working at c. The management is terrible—there is no support whatsoever. They only care about salary and will definitely throw you under the bus. When you make a mistake, that's when they pounce on you about training—especially if they're preparing for a review. There is zero support, nothing in place to help you. They shockingly lie, have no evidence, and still sweep you under the bus. It’s a disgusting business
