Pros

I cannot even think of one. Maybe weekly pay?

Cons

This was the most horrific position I have ever had, and I don’t think I realized just how bad it was until I was out. They prey on undergrads and sell this false narrative of building a 100k business… lol yeah okay. If you do decide to take this position, here’s some tips! For starters - give up any idea you have of free time. You will be expected to work 50 hour weeks minimum, period. You will be micromanaged like you never have been before, even with what you do in your personal life. You will be told you need to buy expensive material items to fit in - purses, cars, houses, clothes. They will make you feel so small unless you fit in perfectly and obey every order they give you professionally and personally. This job was so bad my hair fell out, I lost friends from not having free time, didn’t have time to go to the gym, etc. Maybe it isn’t this bad at every office, but either way I would steer clear. Almost every single person I started my training class (from all around the country) with is now gone. If you’re an undergrad - look ANYWHERE else. This is not how you want to begin your career I promise you.

Pros

I can't say enough nice things about Beacon Hill. I work directly with Kathryn Schmitt. Having her in my corner is a true luxury. She communicates quickly and thoroughly and advocates for me with determination and finesse. When we talk, I always feel as if she is really listening and cares. I completely trust her, greatly enjoy our working relationship, and truly value Beacon Hill as a result. Likewise, her colleagues are also very caring and so professional. Being placed by Beacon Hill and having stayed with the same excellent company for over four and a half years says it all.

Cons

Honestly, I can't think of any cons.
