Pros

I can't think of anything except if you're in the core group that management approves of then you're going to be fine here.

Cons

Where to start.. Clicky.. Very Clicky. If you're liked you're fine, if not it won't be long before you're out. They will fire you! I was harassed the manager still has a job and I chose to leave. Story of every woman. Work life balance is awful.. Just awful. You're expected to do the job of 3 other people so it's very tough to leave your desk.. Forget time away, even a day off is a nightmare to return from! They make it seem glamorous but in reality it's probably the most corrupt place. Managers do the mistakes horrible things behind closed doors, trust me.. I was one of them. I heard and saw for myself. The pay seems great until you add the hours worked for it.. Then not so much.
