Pros

Good benefits Nice office space

Cons

Micromanaging Poor training - I received zero training. My manager decided to take a trip to NYC my first 3 days and leave me with nothing to do, and then proceeded to get mad when I left early because I was sitting behind a desk doing nothing for 8 hours. No direction
