Pros

still positions going during virus and recession

Cons

Business Outlook

Pros

Entry into blue-chip companies that would otherwise be harder to get into.

Cons

Very low salary, considering the work. Lock-in clause means that you're trapped under the threat of fines you couldn't reasonably afford. Inflated training costs, purely there to justify said lock-in clause. Training is at times very poor and could be had for a much lower cost elsewhere. As others have said, certain aspects of the contract were downplayed or not clearly mentioned.
