Pros

This is the best company I have ever worked for. Everyone is expected to show up to work and do his or her job. Period. No micromanaging and no hand holding. If you can do the job that is expected of you, you will last here. If you cannot, we will wish you good luck and send you on your way. The hours can be long, but the reward is worth the effort.

Cons

Not the best workplace for those who want to do just enough to stay employed. Not a good fit for those unwilling to make the effort.
