Pros

IF you get a good team, it is very nice, and you will learn a ton. Coworkers are very cool since everyone is younger and $4 lunches

Cons

No job security, if on a bad team you will be drowned with work, upper management has no care or remorse for employees. The men's bathroom is always packed
