Pros

I got this job straight out of college and I learned a ton because I was working 60+ hours per week. Pay was okay and with overtime I was make quite a bit of money for a recent college grad, which was nice. Definitely learned how to deal with a stressful work environment quickly.

Cons

Overtime was excessive at times with little appreciation from management. Work could be repetitive with very little focus on improving efficiency. People tend to stay there a year or two and then move on to something with a better work life balance.

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.
