      Pros

      Hybrid schedule in a convenient, downtown office,

      Cons

      The company is possibly operating at a loss. They took out a half-billion dollar loan buy SMS Assist, and now Lessen is having trouble repaying the loan, due to the state of the current housing market. Lessen makes money by providing real estate developers/property owners with rehab/construction crews to complete their projects, but with interest rates as high as they currently are, developers/property owners aren't taking out as many mortgages to fund their projects these days.

      Pros

      Foster's career progression and professional development.

      Cons

      Have to be adaptable to change and willing to pivot. Not necessarily a con but change isn't always easy for some.
