Pros

Pay, Benefits, Amazing ℅-workers, free lunch and snacks, quality friendships. The promise of speaking your mind, holding people accountable, asking questions.

Cons

Min 50 hrs a/week, no work/life balance, under daily intense pressure and stress, outdated technology - excel over used, large turn over, constantly training newbies or taking on the workload of those that management deems below the bar. Losing your job is always just around the corner. Money making departments (employees - bonuses) favored over non-profit support or back office departments. Friendships are strong and deep because of the intense environment which at times simulates war. The promise of speaking your mind, holding people accountable, asking questions. - can become way too much sometimes as it can hinder getting things done. Overwhelming workload, "culture homework", Ray's apps to monitor feedback, reviews on coworkers, emotions = endless to dos and not enough time.
