Pros

9 to 5 hours, Monday-Friday, co-workers. The supervisors I worked with were incredible fair and great to work with. Great PTO and health insurance. Plenty of opportunities for advancement.

Cons

We were located in DTLA for many years and the office was moved to El Segundo so being located in the Valley the drive was horrible. Raises are low and far between.
