Pros
Podium, although challenging, is what you make of it. I've struggled at times. I'm not even doing that great right now tbh BUT I do know this from my time here - if you stay focused, commit, and have real discipline with your daily work, you can do really well. If you require special treatment, coddling, belly scratches, snuggles, naps, and snack packs you probably won't cut it here. To those considering Podium, bring your A game, and leave the excuses at the door. In the end, it is up to you to work smart, remain focused and push aside the self-doubt that comes to us all in our profession. Success is up to you. Your mindset is key. To those still working at Podium writing entire tomes about a lack of success, attention atrocities, unfair nap schedules, and fewer juice box options, all while refusing to take personal accountability - its probably just time to move along.
Cons
It could be more fun.
