Pros

They pay you. Not a living wage, but they pay you. And because they pay you so little, they pay you every week, which is good, because you need to be paid every week to do things like survive.

Cons

The entry level job pays $30,000, non negotiable. You are stuck at that rate for at least 1 year, without being able to change departments or receive promotion. Many of the benefits don't kick in until after a year, and if you last that long, you're probably stuck there.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
