Pros
You get the opportunity to attend exclusive events if you're invited, which can be a great perk. Plus, depending on the team you're placed with, you can gain valuable experience and learn a lot across different areas.
Cons
Unfortunately, the cons outweigh the pros. The benefits package is very limited, and compensation is below industry standard—barely a livable wage for full-time employees. Paid time off is essentially nonexistent for hourly staff; you're given a capped 40 hours of sick leave per year, and once that’s used, any additional time off is unpaid. Those sick hours also don’t get paid out, meaning you can end up accumulating time you can’t use or cash out. Leadership dynamics can be challenging. Executive-level involvement in day-to-day decisions, including staffing changes, feels excessive and creates an unpredictable work environment. Career growth is another concern—there’s no clear development path or structure. Annual reviews are not guaranteed and often require employees to initiate them. Raises are rare, even for high performers, and despite being paid entry-level wages, you're often expected to take on multiple responsibilities without appropriate recognition or support.
