Pros

Honestly? The friends I made are the only Pros as well as the good insurance. They have fully stocked kitchens and free food which was nice, but I would have rather been paid more and not flat out lied to. Plus the powdered watery eggs made me sick more often than not when those were served

Cons

I don't think i will have enough space for all of these. Like another person before me I am going to list them out to make them easy to read in case you don't want to read my long essay *Pay is not what you are told it will be- they recruit and move people across the country to make less than what is told, and we aren't talking about a few dollars, I am talking THOUSANDS of dollars less per year* *They say they want help improving things, but they don't listen to anything from anyone who knows and has been in the industry* *They don't promote based on what would be smart or put people who should be in the higher positions in them. They allow the people who are the puppets on a string to be in those jobs because they don't talk back or have any sort of actual opinion (similar to a doll or robot) *There is zero sense of urgency for things that need to be handled in a short amount of time due to the way the industry works. *The way processes are done make no sense, and consistently made me want to poke my eyes out* *Don't expect them to care about you as a person, they don't. They laid us off via a video meeting in the OC office. I am not going to spend any more time on this, because you get the idea, they don't deserve another single second of my time. If you choose to ignore this.... good luck to you. I felt like i lived on the set of Office Space...... I lost my soul while i was here, I luckily have since gotten it back *They treat everyone like they are children and give you zero power to close sales, or do anything.
