Pros

laid back enviroment. you can't get fired for being incompetent. Don't need to work extra hard. See my comments in the Cons section

Cons

I worked hard and my annual reviews always reflected this. I had continued to receive very high grade on my performance reviews and was well regarded by my peers and directors. The accolades were fine and dandy but let's face it, the pats on the back and positive words don't pay my bills!!!! The freaking place is god darn cheap with the money that it's not even funny... If you're an above average worker you will get the same compensation as the person next to you who may not have put in the same hours or the energy into work. I have seen this happen two years in the row and I didn't want to wait around for another year

Pros

Great starter job that does reward top performers (contrary to a lot of the other posts). Big name company that looks great on your resume. Will gain lots of industry knowledge.

Cons

90% percent of the promotions go to the top 10% of the employees. If you can't handle working long hours, dont work here. I typically average 53-60 hours a week, and have been ever since working at a staff level.
