Pros

Nothing. Literally nothing. Everyone hates the place but somehow they choose to stay because of the salary being a pitiful 1k higher than other similar local jobs.

Cons

Being sexually harassed and having it swept under the rug is definitely a con here! Unless you enjoy having your experience invalidated, driven to suicidal thoughts, and expected to hop back into the office! An absolute shambles. Management are likely trained to veil the fact that they don't care about you or your situation, and want you to work like battery chickens. But hey free dominos eh! Nepotism is rife here. It's really who you know and how much you suck up. If you love homophobia, then this is the place for you too! Ignore the fancy IDAHOBIT days, a lot of people working here hate equality and make it verbally obvious. Also hearing racist and ableist remarks was an almost daily occurance. Honestly just don't even bother.
