Pros

As an employee, you could do whatever you wanted. Many didn't come to work at all, people took three hour lunches, got drunk on work time, did drugs in the parking lot and came back high. If you consider that a pro, I guess. HOnest people who had doctors appts., of course, had no problem, leaving, with such chaos around.

Cons

Everything in Sales was fraudulent - documents were forged. Sales were put through Inside Sales after completed and backdated and INside sales commission was shared with outside rep. Fraud was rampant. Mood was like a frat house. People threw footballs and screamed racial epithets at each other especially anti Jewish and ant black. THere was a lot of employee intimidation against the managers and screaming and doing drugs during the day. It was an absolute disaster. Honest hardworking employees were let go and fraud committing employees were nurtured because managers wanted the high commission that all the fraud produced. Managers did nothing to improve the situation. The prisoners ran the prison.

Pros

The company used to care about customers, but they removed all the sales people who actually visited and consulted with customers to save travel cost.

Cons

The company's newest CEO, Patrick, only cares about getting back to a Cybersecurity company as fast as possible. Can't sell the company fast enough, but buyers can't get past due diligence periods.
