Motivation:
Poor submission system
No updates on progress when compared to other publisher
Did not provide reviewers feedback despite saying the paper was sent for review and feedback was given. Even if the paper was rejected, give me the "feedback" so I can improve my manuscript.

Motivation:
The submission platform is archaic. Rejection aside, the overall process is not modern where things like tracking are available. Its seems completely manual. Wasted two months that could have been submitted elsewhere.

Motivation:
After submitting the manuscript, the submission system indicated that it was sent to referees. NOT TRUE!, The manuscript was not even submitted! I emailed the office a copy of the manuscript to make sure they received it. After about 6 months, after trying to be in contact with the editor for a long time, they told me they have not received the manuscript. Bad communication by the editor and IT WAS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME. Send to another journal, this is the last journal you want to send your manuscript to.
