Pros

- access to career and development opportunities - a lot of on the job support available - consistent and ongoing feedback - opportunities for advancement - good entry level job for those with little or no work experience / new grads

Cons

- poor work life balance - you must account for every single MINUTE of your work day - for ex. you are only allowed 21 minutes (yes 21 minutes exactly) in a day to be away from your computer minus your scheduled breaks - these 21 mins include coffee breaks, trips to the vending machines, leaving your desk to talk to a supervisor, washroom breaks, and if you need to leave 5 mins early to catch a bus!

Pros

Stable work life balance. The culture is really great, very easy to work with complex management and managers. Willing to help you grow and learn with clients

Cons

Not a lot of room for growth unless you come in the door with that expectation. It can be very easy to get stuck in this role as your pay slowly increases and the job title mostly stays the same. Associate promotions and raises are rarely given and take a lot of coercion to get.
