Pros

Great work life balance - easiest job I've ever had (including high school jobs). I have plenty of time off and little was demanded of me day to day. The way that jobs were sub divided so far down, you could be an expert in your area without being over worked. Good perks as far as give aways, holiday parties, time off, summer hours, not a strict dress code and a good place to find other, young, smart people to date.

Cons

Not actually a marketing company, very bogged down in process, not friendly to outsiders

Pros

- Complimentary lunch and starbucks everyday - On-site clinic for basic check ups - Hybrid

Cons

you will be taking phone calls every minute of the day. There will come a time where you feel like at the bottom of the world. You will ask yourself "is my role in life to help people reset their password online and assist them in logging in?" You cannot use the bathroom whenever you want, they have time coding that if you "abuse" them you will be flagged and subject to discipline. You have to give world class service but at the same time rush them off the phone or else you are not getting paid a good bonus. You will quickly find yourself gasping for air and time to relax when you take 50+ calls a day , you will feel drained. When is finally time to move up there is a high chance you will be paid less than you're current role as there are no bonuses in higher roles.
