Pros

Huge corporate setting, gaining so much experience and learning alot of talent. So much opportunity to grow within my career. The culture is unmatched!! Looks great on the resume.

Cons

pay is a bit low for the year we are in - we need to be compensated more, especially for the city we reside in. Also, the benefits aren't good at all.
