Why? I worked for them, and had no problems, that were not part my fault. They treated my good over all.. There are two sides to every issue.. What is yours? Did you work for them and have a bad experience? If so tell all, but don't tell someone to stay away from a particular co, if you yourself haven't worked for them before..
