Pros
If you have an insane drive, do not mind working 100+ hour weeks for $40k in pay, and have a voracious appetite for cold calling, you can be one of the very few employees who climbs the ladder fairly quickly.
Cons
* A factory - they recruit and hire entry level college graduates and burn and churn them until they either give up or get promoted. When I was there, there was a 90% turnover at the account manager level * No yearly performance review process in place * No management training, so whoever you are reporting into will likely not care about your development there or even know how to foster your growth * Insane hours with minimal pay up front * Gives false expectations to everyone they hire about the potential for career growth

No work-life balance and no money, either.

Pros
This was my first job out of college and it was a great way to break into the industry since they mostly hire recent graduates. Like Frank Sinatra said, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. TransPerfect will always be my comparison to say "this job could always be worse." Casual dress code, great team members, great learning experience.
Cons
Unnecessarily stressful environment. It was not uncommon to find fellow employees crying at their desks, crying in the hallway, crying in the bathroom... and for what? It's a TRANSLATION company, not an emergency room! Management exploited the fact that most employees came straight out of college and had no idea what a normal work environment (or normal pay) is like. Looking back on it, I can't believe I stayed there as long as I did. 12 hour days were the norm, and people were fired for making the slightest mistake.
