Pros
Good place to cut your teeth regardless of discipline/niche
Cons
If hired at a starting staff position, this is probably not the place to stay. Some supervisors may encourage you to grow and be supportive- but most will pressure you to stay on in a position your overqualified for. Reality is that salaried staff positions are rare and they open them up nationally. In the hiring process for those jobs they do not consider it a promotion from your current role, it is a National job search. They do not have loyalty to employees who put in years working toward a position- often times forced to do the role of that salaried position but for starvation wages. Starting employees can go through 3+ rounds of pay raises and still make less than an Amazon factory worker. Oh and you have to pay to park- and it is very expensive so if you do, you’re actually taking home Min. Wage (7.25).
