Most fun I've ever had at a job, despite terrible pay and incompetent management.

Business Outlook

Pros

Always meeting new people, always something different everyday, felt like a mini-celebrity. Co-workers were great, creative, out-going people.

Cons

Pay was horrible; management was short-sighted, refusal to try something new and flat out incompetent. You have to be family, a friend, or a serious ass-kisser to get ahead at this company.
