Pros
-High degree of responsibility -Potential to make lots of money -Lots of people to get drunk and do drugs with
Cons
-It's a cult, plain and simple. Just like multi-level-marketing, if you are not succeeding it's because you are not trying hard enough, is always your fault, and the answer is always to work harder and longer. -Getting in after 7:30am is "late" and leaving before 5:30pm is "early" -Favoritism and sucking up to management gets you ahead much faster than actual results -They'll tell you that everyone who leaves was "so close" to making it big and now will be some kind of miserable failure in poverty the rest of their lives, despite the fact that lots of people leave and are very happy and successful elsewhere -They have no concept of work-life boundaries; they will ask you your deepest, darkest secrets so they can "help you achieve your goals" and then throw them back at you when you try to leave. Any failure to participate in this or set a boundary is you "not giving it your all." Seriously, if you are in TEK now and you are thinking about leaving and starting to see the cracks in the lies they are telling you, just go for it. I've yet to meet someone who has left who misses it, no matter what anyone tells you. It's great being able to go home at night and try a different approach when something is not working. It's great to be happy at work, and to feel respected. It's great not to be belittled in Red Zone in front of all your colleagues. It's great to be treated like a person, not as the sum of your spread and hires that week.
