Reviews
Pros: Great people
Cons: Sometimes lack of organization
Overall, it has pros and cons but the pros out weigh the cons. Just like anything else, do some extensive research instead of just having your opinion based on one sole post or person. Use that skill in everything you do and life will be better for you. Don’t let someone tell you what to think or feel but if there is a consensus then that is more trustworthy. As I said before, do your research and don’t let yourself be taken advantage of, because this has happened to me. Do not know if this helped but maybe it did. Have a good day.
