Pros

When its busy, there's plenty to do and a lot to learn. I enjoyed everyone I worked with, minus only a couple of people. There were company outings too, and those were fun to take friends to. They want you to excel, and they show it. During the summer you can easily work 40-60 hours a week and not even realize it.

Cons

When things slow down, they cut back and get angry if you're not in the office. But even when you show up in the office there's nothing to be done, because the project managers don't know what to give you. But if you're not there for 8 hours doing nothing then you'll be let go. From October to February, good luck getting any hours. Only half of our staff was actually able to work, and of those who worked they were only able to average 25 hours a week during the slow winter season.
