Pros
- Gain a lot of experience if you volunteer/are willing to do the work - Looks good on the resume (if you are working a salary role...a family member of mine worked in production and that experience didn't translate as well) - Health insurance/benefits are good. I think maternity leave is 3 months? - Some departments are better than others...Looking at you, technology, - CEO seems cool
Cons
- In my 2 years, I got no pay raise or title adjustment. Not because I could not do the job, I was doing the same work as senior level team members, but due to internal politics at play (Layoffs, re-structures, etc). - No flexibility or remote friendly atmosphere. This depends on your department. - I was working 9 am - 6 pm, plus time on the weekend or responding after hours while Salary and not getting paid more. - Sometimes, more like a high school club than a business in a trillion dollar market.
