Good for experience, low salaries

CEO approval

Pros

I haven't had any negative experiences, but I do feel underpaid for the experience and education I have. Since I have very minimal experience I've been learning a lot, but just stay for the experience and hop somewhere else once you get it.

Cons

No cons just low pay
