Pros

convenient is the only thing right now

Cons

Constant changes for the bad. The people in charge are dishonest and sometimes down right criminal. The level of qualified help is going downhill. The only way to succeed in this company is to be middle eastern or a power hungry narcissist The HR department sucks time to rebuild
