Pros

This company has so much to offer.. it has everything you don’t want in an employer! If you’re looking for a company that is stuck way back in time, this is the place for you. If never want to get ahead and are totally cool with being paid way below your market value, this is the place for you. If you want to be belittled and screamed at by executives in a room full of your peers, this is the place for you. If you like not being able to confide in HR because they immediately run right to your manager to divulge everything you just said, this is the place for you. If you’d prefer to be paid a pittance of a yearly profit share over having a 401k match, this is the place for you. If you like working somewhere that absolutely everything is a secret unless you’re in the executive inner circle, this is the place for you. If you thrive in a high anxiety negative energy environment, this is the place for you.

Cons

Oh, not a thing. Everything is lovely at OsJ.
