Pros

I love this company so much. I came in fresh out of college (no degree though. Switched majors too much and ran out of money). Anyway, I've been working here for 2.5 years and have gotten 2 major pay increases. It's a family owned business so you get to know everybody really fast and you get to feel close to your coworkers and management, too. And also, you grow so much. Now lookng back, I feel like I didn't know anything when I started. Now I feel like an adult, that can bring value and confidence and great ideas. I'm leaving soon and I'm so sad because it feels like I'm leaving my second family. The ONLY reason I'm leaving is because I'm going back to school to get that degree. I told the owner and I thought it would be hard but she offered to try to connect me with an internship in my field. I could not be more grateful and happy that I took this job and I highly recommend it.

Cons

The cons aren't even that bad but here we go: 1. We have four offices in the Chicago and you get a schedule a week in advance for which office you'll be on different days. When I didn't have a car, it sucked having to take a bus and two trains to get to work. 2. It's highly air conditioned, and I get cold fast. I really like blouses and button ups but I have to wear sweaters everyday otherwise I"ll freeze to death. There are heaters under each death though if it gets too bad. 3, It's extremely busy in the summertime. This is good and bad because the days go by super fast but it can also be stressful trying to do so much at one time and not forget anything.

Pros

Your co-workers are very helpful and understanding, they trained me from the beginning and always ask if I need anything, the job, in general, is simple and you have all the tools to make it easy

Cons

The only problem I have had is for when there are events going on and the traffic makes it hard to know the exact time of arrival for the student

Pros

People are nice and location is easy to get to.

Cons

They want you to take a day off during the week and then work half-way on saturdays. In the end, you are not eligible for benefits (health insurance for example) because you dont work 40h/week..you work 36.5h/week. It is a scam.
