Pros

-Learn an incredible amount about the world of business, especially entrepreneurial business -Gain valuable real life experience -Have alot of fun -Gain lots of networking opportunites -Make a decent amount of money, especially from an internship program -Meet other amazing, driven, motivated, people -Go on sick trips -You will get LOTS of training, almost to the point you will get sick of it. In the end, it is very worth it -Great resources will you are participating in the internship, including a "paint guru" whose only job is to answer his phone and answer your paint related questions -All around this company and experience WILL change your life- Guarenteed

Cons

-It is ALOT of work. Be prepared to push yourself and work hard for your goals -Like a real new business, it takes some time to establish yourself and pay off your small amount of debt, which the company covers, before you actually see any profit -It is possible to "fail" If you dont put in the effort, which at some points may seem high, you wont realize your goals. Ultimately, if you are ambitious, and are willing to work for what you want, then you will do fine. If there is even an ounce of laziness or apathy in your personality, then you may want to stick to a shitty office job because you very well may be wasting your time.

Pros

They are no pros to working here.

Cons

These people are awful. Worked here 10 years ago and I still think about how bad it was. First off they manipulated me into taking the job and then when I got there I was feeling pretty paranoid and sketched out by their behavior. By the end of the first training they were openly picking on me because I wasn’t participating. From that point on I had lost any trust in the staff as they were making everything about me. Some kind of bullying campaign was being done against me. They were putting stuff in my food and water to mess with me. The second training the Vp was talking about how much he hated me using indirect terms. Such as “I hate PowerPoint” but he was referring to me. In hindsight I should have just left and quit but I guess I didn’t want to just let them win. In the end they quit on me and basically went against their company values such as relationships are everything (didn’t talk to me), results matter (less time focused on me would have gotten results) , and never give up ( I never quit but they did).
