Pros

-Big Firm -Good reputation -Great location right next to the subway -Friendly people

Cons

-Lack of transparency. I was hired as a temporary employee and given a lot of responsibilities. I was under the impression from what they told me and how they acted that the role would most likely become permanent. However, I was replaced and let go the day before a big holiday. -I tried to email for references and didn't hear back from supervisors that I worked closely with for months and considered on very good terms with -Very low pay
