Report
I'm not sure where start....I will be nice here.. I would say stay away from this Company if you are looking for a decent job..the place is old, dirty and you have a bonus to see cockroaches almost everyday. The office in West Palm Beach is a very toxic environment to work; the management is bad; no good manners at all; no decent values. When the CEO/owner is not there, that place is awful to work. Extremely disgusting and stressful. It's definitely not a healthy place to be working. Stay away! Zero star in my book..
