Pros

Paycheck never bounced when cashing it

Cons

I can't begin to describe the toxicity in this place. It's not just the management; the co-workers are conniving and plain mean.

Pros

I honestly can't think of any pros in working for these people. They are currently under the name Wordibly.

Cons

Terrible pay for the work you do. Despite the way the economic landscape has changed over the past 5 years,, they are still paying the same measly rates they've always paid, which is bad.
