Business Outlook

Pros

I left because there weren't any pros. I mean, what's the point in putting up with a lot of stress when you aren't getting anything from it?

Cons

Terrible pay and not a lot of opportunities to advance. Don't bother trying to outperform your coworkers, because instead of getting a raise, you're just going to be relied upon more and assigned heavier workloads while still receiving the same salary.
