Pros

Southerly takes care of it's employees. They are always celebrating something - employee birthdays, holidays, just because it's Tuesday is reason enough, really. Good people. Great entry designer job. Worth waiting to be hired on full-time. They give a LOT back to the community. Oh..and unlimited free pop.

Cons

You get great hours during their busy season, which lasts about 4 months, but if you're still under contract your hours can range any where from 40+ hours one week to 16 the next.
