Pros

Great people, Flexible schedule (mornings vs. evenings), Networking, Client food, Awesome downtown location, client service experience.

Cons

If you're looking for a lot of Market Research experience, look elsewhere. You get exposure to interviews/focus groups, but you don't get any hands on experience and learn much about research itself. This is mainly a client service/assistant job. Very long hours - I would work 12+ hour shifts at least twice a week No room for advancement Some clients don't treat you well. Have to have thick skin and patience to deal with some people.

Pros

You're able to work remote.

Cons

The company is spiraling out of control. There’s a lack of leadership, and efforts to sell to private equity are not going well. Instead of focusing on creating value internally, they are looking externally. The company is heavily reliant on a large number of VP-level staff, with 60% or more of the staff at that level. The rest of the staff is severely underpaid.
