If you don’t want to be challenged too much, maybe it’s for you.

Pros

People are friendly and culturally aware. There’s a free lunch on Mondays and a happy hour on Thursdays, usually with a potluck. Management is trying to create a positive work culture.

Cons

They start you at $10.00 an hour and if you have to pay to park downtown, you are going to resent that in a hurry. The lunch room isn’t big enough for everyone but you only get 30 minutes for lunch so it’s hard to go anywhere. The job isn’t very challenging and there’s at least three months lag time between performance and the payment of any incentives.
