Business Outlook

Pros

Learned how to work well under significant amount of pressure and time limits

Cons

No support from management, poor ethical policies, overworked and under appreciated. No solutions to problem areas they push to next week or ignore them all together. If you want to advance and want to learn then look in other places.
