Pros

The company is doing well financially. There are some quirky pluses like food truck day and an onsite taqueria.

Cons

There is A LOT of nepotism and office politics. As other reviews mention, it's a great place if you're related to someone in management, friends with someone in management, a former coworker of someone in management, or even the son/daughter of a customer. Salaries could be more competitive and business techniques could use an overhaul.
