Pros

Prepared and motivated you to get ready for your next experience. The staff was generally friendly as well.

Cons

Short staff, rolling hours, working by yourself, impatient/cheap contractors, low pay. Also depending on your area you may just end up being a "color consultant" for your retail customers.

Pros

Flex time is nice. Salary is competitive. Benefits are great.

Cons

It is very hard to climb the ladder if you're not a "chosen one". I've seen several people come in at an entry to mid level position and surpass tenured employees into management positions (across several departments). The tenured employees that aren't getting promoted all have one thing in common -- and by the title of this review, you could take a guess as to what that one common denominator is.

Pros

quality product with very accommodating executive staff. Wear uniforms so you don't have to worry about what to wear in the morning. PTO, benefits, medical etc.

Cons

There is so much to learn. You must be able to be disciple to teach yourself a lot because the amount of what goes into all their products will never be learned. You will feel like you don't know anything for a while.
