You would only be a fool to believe that everyone that has taken the time and effort to give their honest views on this company has an axe to grind. Everybody (inc I) has done so in order to help people like you, to protect people like you, no one has any axe to grind against the company. All of us still have friends their and believe in the company if not the management and how it is run.
We give our opinions and experience of the situation to aid others make a decision. To ignore them would be foolish, if you choose to do so then it's your life... Go for it, you only live once! But you were warned!
