Pros

Free samples. Free coffee. Nothing else.

Cons

Do not ever consider working here. It is the equivalent of a sweatshop. The company is crap, they pay you even crappier (8.50/hour). All their products are made in China even their food! Always understaffed for good reason because NO ONE WANTS TO WORK HERE!!!!
