Pros

The people outside of the family and senior management were nice

Cons

The CEO and COO ? (kate) are completely incompetent and unethical although the acted like they were superior to others and both ethics and competency. The CEO hired his son and son-in-law‘s because men are supposed to take care of their wives… That’s from an interview from the CEO. It would be one thing if they knew what they were doing, but these relatives and in-laws were just as incompetent.
