Pros

The people are great, friendly, accepting. Management is pretty laid back and listens to what people have to say.

Cons

Not very rewarding work or recognition for good work. I find myself with a lot of free time throughout the day and I have to actively seek out other things to do. Not as organized as you would think on the lower levels of the business. There is a lot of scrambling and the managers don't feel very accountable for their subordinates. No real training in any role. Basically a "learn as you go" philosophy but they expect you to know what you are doing extremely quickly.
