Pros

New office. Paid lunches each week.

Cons

Long hours Dishonest interview where they highlight their commitment to your work-life balance. There simply isn't a commitment at all.

Pros

Let's see - not a lot. Decent office. Decent location.

Cons

If you always enjoy feeling like someone is ready to throw you under the bus, this is the job for you. The culture is unlike anyplace I've ever worked. There is no sense of team. It's all every man (woman) for themselves and they make it clear daily you are dispensable. No career development. No clear initiatives other than make more money for leadership. Sad.

Pros

A lot of fine, genuinely motivated, gifted students & peers to get to know Uses latest technology and gives each employee plenty of work space and those type of resources Prizes, awards, contests, a ton of money to be made - an exciting place at first! The company fixes errors quickly, often the same day.

Cons

Training class sizes are not proportional to the type of training that is required to stay in tune with what's happening in class. Very strong support in the beginning turns into chaotic, systemized arrogance as training moves forward. Management treats employees well for the most part (depending on one's level of toleration with borderline harassing language and behavior). Training classes are unproportional to the level of skill, attention, and attunement that is required for this job. Questions a trainee may have about the material goes unanswered which causes frustration. This continues on and on, leaving trainees asking others around them for answers, but even they are guessing. This is no good and does nothing but set up the trainee for failure. If you miss even one absence, it takes a lot of resources that many don't have to survive and keep up with the material. The trainers do not make time to go over missed, or misunderstood material, unless of course, you stay late, and you have get caught up within a certain timeframe, usually an hour because everyone goes home. If you still don't have your questions answered, you may never know which leaves holes in knowledge that is necessary to have in order to move to the next step of your learning. If you don't get that knowledge, it puts your learning on hold and you get far behind quickly. Then you end up seeing this in your bonuses and other pay if you stay home sick or have to be gone for whatever reason. There are more cons that I won't mention here because there are just too many.
