Pros

Its very nice job if you are starting out or are in college and need a part time job. Their summer internship was honestly so much fun. After my internship they asked me to move up to a Community Consultant. I worked part time at Avalon and went to school full time so it is manageable.

Cons

Good luck trying to get a job at their corporate office. You would think that they would want to promote from within, but in my experience that has not been the case. I have been passed up for about 7 opportunities to work at their corporate headquarters, needless to say that was the reason I left.
