Pros

Good company that cares about their products and the welfare of the animals.

Cons

I was mentally abused by the management at this office. I went to HR and nothing happened. I was forced to do menial tasks, sign a paper saying I was on probation, was told not to make friends, was threatened that I would never be promoted, I could go on and on. If you try to transfer departments, the management will target you and never promote you to a higher role I went to the HR department and nothing was done. I was forced to quit after having anxiety attacks nearly daily at the thought I would have to go back to work.
