All companies have their issues, but there are deep-seated problems permeating within this company. Be sure to do research on the company. Search sites like careerbliss.com to find out what others have said about the company. I did before I began working and didnt believe it. I should have. Everything other/past employees have said is completely true. DO NOT think all reviews are written by completely disgruntled employees. I wish managment read them, so that some meaningful changes could be made."
